I was wondering if anyone has any thoughts on the CP200d vs XPR 3300 for a very basic primarily simplex user?
A friend of mine is a general contractor and has an itinerant radio frequency. Right now they are using a bunch of VX-231's and I probably dont need to say how "well" they have stood up to the rough and tumble time on a construction site.
I am trying to point them in the direction of XPR 3300's because they are piratically indestructible but I started thinking that the CP200d might work just as well for them.
They run simplex exclusively, and they dont see that really changing any time soon, so I dont see the need for them to have a IPSC, CP, LCP capable radios.
The only reason I want to try and push them to something turbo capable however is they are often on job sites that may have an existing "conventional turbo" repeater set-up and I want them to be able to piggy back on that system if they want to.
One only real benefit form a unsuitability standpoint I see is the XPR 3300 would have a latching accessory connector for their RSMs as opposed to the CP200d which would just "plugged in".
Am I missing something?
