Is this a good radio? Also I have read a lot of posts here about it getting updates, how do I know if the used radio I want to buy is fully updated and ready to go? Or do I even need the updates, gonna replace some maxtracs so we can eventually switch to LTR.

Definitly make sure it has the latest firmware in place, sent one radio back already. Our Police Dept had problems with earlier manufacure date radios with the MDC-1200 causing the radio to stay keyed up. and the TOT didn't work.

Don't use MDC decoding, don't even know what it is, I like the 1550 because it has ltr and passport capabilities, also I was told M would only sell the rss to dealers for the ht1250ls and cdm1550ls, is this not true? what did it cost, i have no problem calling them and getting a license, i just don't want to spend a buch of time on the phone if they will say, nope, can't have that one. Also do you know which handhelds will do passport roaming, Perthcomm knows butt i haven't seen him around.

I'm around

The portable version is the HT1250LS+
If you want to do Passport eventually, you will need the make sure you get the LS+ (plus) version of the radio. These have only been out a few months, so chances of getting a used PLUS radio is slim.

How many can I sell ya??
