Motorola Submersible Portables
Does anybody know where I can get a laundry list of ALL Motorola submersible portable transceivers?
Re: Motorola Submersible Portables
When you say "all", are you referring to only currently sold/supported units or all as in "historically all"?
Motorola Submersible Portables
I am interested in both those currently offered and those sold in the past.
Re: Motorola Submersible Portables
I'm sure someone more authoritatively will chime in, but to the best of my knowledge (and I'm no dealer or expert), the top tier ones that are submersible would be:
APX7000XE
APX6000XE
APX6000R?
APX7000R?
XTS5000R
XTS3000R
Astro Saber R
That's all that *I* know of...I'm sure there are a lot more, but I've not ever dug back that far in the history.

Going back more than a few years.....
MX300R (possibly the first of the submersible breed ?)
followed by the Saber analog sub.

Re: Motorola Submersible Portables
Forgot to add the MX-R, which is just a Saber 1R for the European market.
Here's a 4 meter (70mhz) version.

Re: Motorola Submersible Portables
The XTS2500i is immersion rated which I believe is different from fully submersible, unless Motorola changed their definitions. Immersion rated is 1 meter of water for 30 minutes I believe. My department had one go into salt water at 10 feet overnight and when they fished it out the next day and took it apart it was not pretty. It did not survive. We had another dropped into a storm drain but was fished out after about an hour and it survived and has been working fine since.

Re: Motorola Submersible Portables
Also, the regular Saber (non-R) model 1 was available with a submersible rating.
