It is suprising how much these radios resemble the XTS 3k and 3.5k. I like the way the mobile is almost identical to the portable. Any feedback on the feature set in those radios?

I like those radios a lot. My father works for Titan and I've gotten to play with quite a few. They feel good in the hand too. The battery seemed to hold up good as I had the unit for two days with no charger and used it frequently, though no p25 features.

I thought they are marketed as a P25 compatible radio?

The radios have the guts of the RACAL-25. They are capable of P25 9600 baud.

They have a few federal customers.

i will have to take a closer look next time i guess. Those suv's are the "dam police" then at the check point on the AZ and NV sides of Hwy 93 those are private security or "renta cops"
