I figure we should start a "non-ham" radio thread... I've picked up a UHF Saber, VHF Astro Saber (plus all the programming crap) and I was able to get a couple M1225s and their programming crap as well.

I usually end up having a Moto XPR6550 from work on me as well.


Pics after I go get dinner.

/\/\ 100W UHF Compa-Station repeater already tuned for the UHF ham band.


Here it is up and running with an ancient "Tiny Vital" controller board in it.


A few /\/\ Micor 75W UHF mobile units (drawers).

So I just picked up 8 VHF P1225's, two Kenwood TK-6110's (75W on 6m, 55W on 10m) and 2 VHF Astro Sabers.

7 VHF GP300's.
6 Micor Compa Stations, (1 VHF in pieces,  100W VHF, 2 100W UHF, 100W low band, 12W UHF)
11 or 12 UHF HT1000s
More Maxtrac/Radius/GM300's than I know what to do with (mostly UHF, two VHF, one low band)
3 900 MHz GTX
1 UHF Spectra (dash mount)
7 UHF high power Spectra
8 VHF high power Spectra
7 UHF HT750
2 VHF Astro Saber
1 UHF XPR6550
1 MTX 900 (haven't seen that one in a few years)
1 low band Syntor X9000
1 UHF Mocom-70 Super Consolette (parted out to use the 75W PA with a PA deckless GM300 I have)
1 GE Mastr Pro (does anyone what this behemoth? free to a good home, dual receiver model, missing a receiver)
3 UHF GE Mastr II Exec (have enough parts from the three to make one working)
5 VHF GE Custom MVP

3 UHF GE Custom MVP
2 (1 VHF, 1 UHF) PM400
2 Kenwood TK-690s
2 Kenwood TK-880H
3 Icom F21 (1 is an F21GM that has been reprogrammed to a regular F21)
1 Icom F3GS
1 Icom F4GS
1 Icom F4021T
1 Icom F221
1 Icom F320s
2 Icom F420s
2 Icom F221s
2 (NIB) UHF M1225's
3 VHF M1225s

I think that's most of it…





An Astro Saber (with a Power Products Li-Ion battery) and an XPR6550 (replace my F4021T) are my daily carries.

The PM400's are my DD radios though due to the recent vehicle purchase I'm only running VHF currently.

*It should be noted, generally if I don't include manufacture name, it has a /\/\ stamped on it. A Yaesu FT-2900 and FT-270 are my only non-part 90 accepted radios…

I totally forgot pics of my meager collection

UHF Saber, VHF Astro Saber



I have 2x M1225s (UHF) and bring a XPR6550 (UHF) home each night for work.


...getting there, slowly. I gotta say the Moto's are damn nice radios.

I have one Motorola Astro Sabre on 2 meters.
I have three Motorola Spectras: one on two meters, one on UHF, and one on 900 mhz.
I have an APX 6000 (with the yellow case)  for work that I take home. With the Bluetooth mic.
Oh, and  also have a Moto mobile rig, I can't think of the model number right off hand but it is on an 800 mhz trunking system again, for work but I bought it myself and it is in my personal pickup. It has the mic with all the controls on it that replaces the face plate.

Then I have a Collins R-390A, and a Collins R-388. They are really nice receivers but I basically stopped using them when SDR came along.

Sounds like either an XTL1500/2500/5000 or an Astro Spectra with the W3 head.
The XTL line was very weird. You could use the W series (usually associated with the Astro Spectra), M series or O series heads on them. But you could only use the W series heads with the Astro Spectra and the A series heads with the Spectra/Systems 9000.

Yeah XTL 5000 seems to ring a bell.
Right now it is useless to me for two reasons: the county 911 system just went to P25, so the radio needs re-programmed, and I am not driving my pickup much because it needs some repair and I am currently pouring all my money into home renovation. It runs, but has a problem.
I sometimes respond from home when I am off-duty and bought the radio for that purpose, but I very seldom actually used it. I never actually transmitted on it. I used it mainly to see if anyone else was responding, or to get updates on locations and stuff like that. I could have done the same thing with a scanner, but..................I am a radio geek. Having the ability to transmit is nice, but I never used it for that. It's ironic that I am a ham yet, at work, I really don't pay much attention to the radios and use them as little as possible. I use my cell phone most of the time unless someone is calling me.

Should I add that I purchased an Astro Spectra with W3 yesterday from a friend who just installed it in his 2014 Silverado and is now retiring it for a XTL5000?

I love the prices.
Astro Spectra $200
Dash Mount Spectra $45
Icom F221 $110
Icom F4021T $135 (new)
XPR 6550 $225 (NOS)
Icom F21s $100 for all 3
GE Custom MVP $20 for 9 with a power supply (sold two for $50)
PM400 $120 (like-new)
Icom F320S $75
Syntor X9000 ($100)
I guess I'll count the AVA I bought from the linked post…$50

I think that's all I've paid for…

If you're gonna go with Sabers…buy the Li-ion batteries. Cut down weight and if you are starting from scratch you can get a triichem charger for around $50 new.

Daggnabbit you guys are a bad influence. I have a couple of Moto jedi radios and I wanted to get an Astro Saber in VHF and or an Mototrbo but it had faded somewhat. Then I clicked this thread.

Based on the seller's location and the channel names programmed into the radio, the last 5 I got were from Texas.  Many of the channel names started with DFW and there was one labeled Tyler SO.  The ebay seller I bought those from still is selling them in lots of five and not many are bidding on them as they are unknown condition with no batteries of charger.  I snagged five radios for $62 and they all worked.  For batteries, I bought some batteries that would not charge for $10 each and rebuilt them with new cells.

Considering that these radios are P25 capable and front panel programmable, they are an awesome value at the price they are selling for.

Avid Motohead here...

XTL 2500 VHF and UHF
XTL 5000 800mhz x2
XTS 5000 800mhz
XTS 2500 VHF
XPR 4550
XPR 4350
XPR 7550
XPR 6350
MTX 9250
MCS 2000 900mhz
MT 1000 VHF
Astro Spectra High Power VHF
Syntor X9000 low band

a few other misc motorolas laying around.

All 800mhz radios have UCMs with AES-256 and are personal radios. It's nice having access to a few different trunked systems and having private talk groups to use. That's why they have AES in them lol.

MicroUSB Connectivity

Efficient charging and easy programming.

Motorola finally put an industry standard connector on one of their products!

Also covers 2m or 440 ham bands... hope we'll see them surplussed in a few years. Looks like a nice radio.

Motorolas have a huge depreciation rate. 16 channel HT1000s were over $1000 retail when they were new. I paid $27 for mine. I'm not sure what the MSRP on the Astro Sabers was but I'm sure it was higher than that, and now they go for under $200.
