Pricing between Astro Spectra and XTL5000?

Post by Pj »

Just for haha's, anyone know what the price difference between the two radio's with the same options would be?

We are meeting with our rep shortly, and I will get hard numbers if I want to try to pursue this, but I am looking for a ballpark price for now.

I don't think that VHF versions have been released yet, but I need:

W5, Trunk mount, midpower (45watts), DVP-XL, IMBE and display ID. That's it.

If you want to compare the same in 800, that's fine, just looking for rough numbers.

Pricing

Post by MtComm »

I have access to the full Moto pricing. I looked up the base models of
each and they are the same price. If you read my post on the XTS3000
being discontinued, you would also seen the the 5K and 3K are the same
price. I don't understand this and am waiting for someone to explain this.
Maybe you could as your rep.

Also I would guess that Moto is going to cancel the Spectra. Why have
two product that do the same thing and are priced the same. Let me
know what you find out.
