Hey Guys,
I'm in the market to buy a new radio. I have budget that will allow me to buy an xtl 2500 or 5000. My question is this, what is a better radio? What are the differences in the two? (All i can tell is head color and shape) I will be using on an analog VHF system that does have p25 conventional channels. I need the full 110 watts of power. We do have a statewide vhf p25 system that we aren't on and probably won't be on due to coverage issues.
I have another option, I can buy a new apx mobile radio and the FD will pay for half. However then I will need new software and new programming cables, and if i leave the FD for whatever reason they will get the radio.
I'm upgrading from an MCS2000 model II
Any thoughts?
