The Radio Information Board

Hi,

I'm wanting to hear what people who are using the VX-900 think about it. Our fire department is looking at them as an alternative to getting Motorola HT1250's. We currently have HT1000's, a few MT1000's, GP300's, and 3 or 4 Kenwood models.
We use our radios for both recieving the page call, and for fire calls, which includes wildland firefighting. The ability to field program the VX-900 is one of the reasons we are looking at it.

This is a pretty quiet board, although it also has had the most usefull information I have found on Vertex radios too (quite a few good comments on vertex at batlabs too actually).

Thanks for and info you might provide.

Well I got some replies over at the BatLabs board, here's the link for the topic.

Our department ordered 2 radios to try out so I will give a complete review of what I think of them in a few weeks.

Curious what people think of the audio, I've heard a new HT1250 motorola and it sounded.... different, can't really describe what's different, but it just seems that way. I know when I got my HT1000 that it didn't sound as good as the GP300 did.
