I believe Ive seen a model 2 with FPP in a video at some point, a pain in the thumb exercise. The parts are now on ebay, the model 3 cases are cheap, a few changes and have yourself a model 3

Moto did have other low band antennas besides uncut 6064. I'd figure moto wouldnt pass on branding an item so I'd assume aftermarket and theres still a few companies making aftermarket antennas for old motos, laird, smiley antenna makes lots of nice ducks with any connector of your choice, etc NAB60...

Here's one we haven't seen yet.. or really anywhere for that matter... Motorola HT100 VHF. There doesn't seem to be much information at all out there about these. By the way... uses a battery that screws onto the back, so that is the whole radio! Shorter than a Pageboy! Where in the world did you f...

Date: Feb 1960 Looks like a handie talkie pre-transistor HT200 - All metal Extending the antenna turns it on http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc310/chrismoll/PatrolmanHandieTalkie/photo%201.jpg http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc310/chrismoll/PatrolmanHandieTalkie/photo%202.jpg http://i219.photo...

Not even a glitch with one of the Astron SS-30M switching I've forgot how long I've had it. Besides, its only weighs 5 pounds if that, cant complain about that. But still gives the old crabs something to complain about, most of them refusing to operating appliances any newer than 25+ yrs ago

Always had nice pictures of many radios. bought a few nice parts from ko on ebay and the board. I hope his radios are taken care of

I'll check in if I have more - Next project is breaking into the Medical HT220 I have -
I'm not crystal guy, but I keep this stuff for nostalgia
Gotta know where it all came from

Speaking of HT220's Here is a mystery. This is a factory DTMF HT220 - Model H33FFN1100E TYPE CC3540 SERIAL L68J49 There is a 2 chip board w/switches and , the 3 wires simply clip on to that board, possibly added later on to operate something? I wonder if this HT220 is something more than just a DTMF...

ok who bought it? Completely blew my bid out of the park - Ended at 300 Bucks!!! http://www.ebay.com/itm/121089562269 Oh My God - did someone call for a BRICK? A prototype HT220 they call it? The only DTMF HT220 I have came with black rubber buttons Type: CC4094E Serial: M94JLY Model: M24FFN3171D SP...

Hello batboard, I got a good deal on a newer vhf HT1250 with a busted display a radio passed self-test, TX's and made noise, now hope to fix it with a working display from a box of vhf ht1250 parts I had around. I delicately swapped displays and at my final moment of putting it together on power up ...

I love the enthusiasm over this stuff! HA HA

Yea I seen that thing, looks like an MTX STX front & the clear speaker mic looks cool . auction went for 100 bucks anyway . The MT2000 looks like UHF I've might have put in a bid if it was VHF. What I want to know is whats that thing with the Motorola University cutter on it between the MT500 &a...

Hey folks, I have been blessed with a CDM1250 that will power up but display EEPRM HW ERROR.

I've tried writing same model/tanapa codeplug only to ...

huh?

chrismoll12

Yea sume of those 123ABC radio can be real legit especially when you open it up and a pound of crud sand dirt fall out of otherwise like new radio
..but the radio is still built of many parts and with anything can be put back into proper order with work

This is batlabs and over 50 years of Motorola
Never say never ,
The portable suitcase repeater is the real deal
You know one might come across the FBI portable suitcase repeater on the auction site every so often complete outifitted for portable repeater operation based on saber handie talkies

I wonder where the EKG device is that plugged into my HT220

chrismoll12

Ahh you have a sharp eye - the antenna is not original although it came with the radio The seller I bought it from had a few more VHF HT220's but in crap condition the name badges all too often seen scuffed then there was this little unit right here . It looks to be a HT220 CC unit! Roger 1-ADAM-12 ...

I saw those sting and can pop up on ebay newly listed a few days ago I got a kick out of it I'm glad it went to someone here

chrismoll12

great idea! I love to play around with the older stuff I just got a nice brick - the MX300R to add to the older stuffs

chrismoll12

Hook em up to RSS and read the history it should give you some dates while might not be accurate It'll give you an idea

chrismoll12

Whats the serial numbers? You can get a date of mfg from it give you an idea

chrismoll12

Ha! These knock offs are advertised as VHF, UHF, 800, 900,,, whatever you want it to be - they must be the magic multi-band antenna!

chrismoll12

As soon as someone start selling Jedi chassis parts, flex,,,, give me a call

chrismoll12

Will,

How does the bottom of those two antennas look? I've seen them fakes not machined very good with the connector.

I'd also like to point out that just about every fake has an orange or red color on the connector

chrismoll12

I'm seeing a lot of counterfeit parts some of these unscrupulous sellers don't tell you its a crap fake but list for a nice dollar. If even the slightest detail looks funny take a look back and see if all the other pieces match. Most of the time you will find these cheap china sweat shop "after...

What if this said inhibited radio did not have an MDC ID? Then what?

chrismoll12

I've gone through a few boxes of Jedi parts. Some newer, some older.. When did Motorola begin using the removable clips instead of tabs to secure control head and PTT cover? When did the RF boards with 3 pin battery black gasket change to 2 pin orange? When did housing gasket change from all black t...

Saber SI is a nice compact version although its analog type has a name and astro does not or does it? Hidden in the deep framework of motorola mid 90's engineering

chrismoll12

Why no Astro Saber have name tag? Is it the only radio ? The original sabers say Saber, Systems Saber and pretty much every other moto portable has got a name, right?. Astro saber just says "Astro". I really admire this model 3 astro saber and I see it to be a one of a kind modern synthesi...

your going in opposite directions in history. MT500, MX300, MT1000, Saber radios are capable of MDC-600 and those radios were old when narrowband equipment was just starting to be manufactured.
You can still play with ancient MODAT on an astro saber or XTS3000

Over the last year I have gotten sample antennas from many wholesale suppliers in Hong Kong, China, etc. The same suppliers of kawamall and such. Heres a little FYI to anyone who buys those $2.99 aftermarket antennas on ebay. All those "aftermarket" antennas are all the same, very badly mo...

chrismoll12

Its 1989 made in January. I would think since its probably one of the first Sabers to come off the line I have no doubt that some improvements were made as time went on

chrismoll12

I'd take a look under it could be something stuck or slid off

chrismoll12

I get a kick out of "95% new radios" Its the same thing as new old stock.

chrismoll12

Motorola still sells low band CDM and HT if anyone wants it
