My other thread self-locked, so I had to make a new one.
I've been digging around all corners of the internet trying to make sense of my bizarre DTMF display Expo. During those travels, I finally had a breakthrough last night whilst browsing page 8 of the 1986 Motorola Shareholder Annual Report. Motorola introduced the "Expo® Touch Code series of two-way portable radios, which provide two-way communications plus paging and telephone interconnect..." could the display Expo be what they're describing?! Was it ever produced, or was it stillborn?
Also picked up a third radio, which is a DTMF Expo. Finally have the golden era pre-Visar trifecta. Now to replace the guts with the secure version.
Some bonus content: PDFs copies of the annual reports which document the golden era of Mother /\/\ I learned quite a bit about radios I'd never heard of, as well as dates of manufacture for different product lines. Apparently there's a VHF marine version of the MX300 (not the MX300R)
