APX6500 Mobile, Is it dual band?

Post by Wes »

The first picture shown of the RF deck on the APX6500 home page suggests that it is a dual band radio.

Is this correct? I cannot find it anywhere in the specs. It is my understanding that the APX7500 is the only dual band mobile Motorola offers.

Reading the brochure that is on the page you have linked to, the 6500 is single band and the 7500 is dual band.

If you look at the other images in the slideshow you'll see that they only have one antenna connector; I'm willing to bet that someone just used the wrong image there...
The bandsplit is only a suggestion.

Sounds about right for mother M and her children not taking the time to care about the product they put out. Got to keep up the mad push to get everyone to buy buy buy.

Why does it refer to the antenna connections as "MP"'s?
