APX7000, 6000, 6500 described in this series of videos by Motorola

It's worth looking at the video, "Mission Critical Wireless Earpiece" Let the crys begin. White cop chases black suspect, come on Motorola, you could do better that that. http://www.youtube.com/user/MotorolaPub ... z0GMetR-So

I wondered how long it would take to get a yellow case for the APX..

firecpt809, yellow and lime green cases have been available for the APX since release. This is an entirely new radio.

Nice looking APX7000XE for the fire guys..... simple with big buttons....

New APX family page posted last night http://business.motorola.com/APX_Family/index.html

looking at the APX6000 there is no Range 2 for UHF listed.

I think their goal is to get the 6000 out in 800mhz before any other band as early as 2010Q4.

For whatever reason Motorola doesn't have the demand for R2 UHF since it took them until this month to start pumping them out.... I'd guess that R2 UHF for the 6000 will be a year before they get to it.

If you are referring to the mission critical earpiece, they are working on a new BT Dongle for the XTS series to allow just that.

I love the firefighters first day video. I might need that radio.

That APX6K is sexy!!!

Cleaned up and color corrected some Motorola press photos.

Drooooooooooool....

Hmmm, something tells me the APX line will eventually be the permanent replacement for the XTS5000 .

I LOVE the design of the entire APX line, but I guess the question remains is,

1. How much longer will the XTS5000 have before being discontinued, and
2. If and when the XTS is discontinued, will the APX take it's spot ?

Oh I am sure that is the game plan and not only will it replace the XTS5K, it will also probably look to replace the XTS2500 with the APX6K.

Personally, I hope that they maintain the XTS2500/ XTS1500/MT1500 line. There are a lot of users out there who don't have the need for a highly featured radio like the APX.

Time frame...I give it less than 2 years but I'm sure /\/\ marketing want's it to happen next week.

Big problem - XTS5000/2500 won't do Phase 2 now, and Moto seems to want to push everyone that way. I suspect the radios *could* do it, but they won't release firmware to do it...

I believe it would require AMBE in the vocoder to do Phase II, no?

That video was hilarious! I love the kids at the end - *presses emergency* "What did you do!?"

The vocoder is in the DSP AFAIK...

now whats the cost?

I saw one on ebay for 4k+
it looks like a futuristic saber

What is the newest version on the APXFamily CPS now?
Thanks!
