RE: [Repeater-Builder] Motorola Radius P50
The P50's came in several models. Low power in the short housing, high power in the tall. As was mentioned before, the battery voltage was different for the two models. It was only capable of one or two channels max. Under the battery was an adaptor board with the charging polarity protection diode. Peel it up and that's where the PL/DPL board lived. Same board for all models. EXCEPT... The P50+, a relatively rare P50 variant with a programmable PL/DPL/2-tone board. The program cable for that board was part of the Radius dealer package way back when. In all the years I was a Radius dealer, I never sold a P50+ or used the cable Not a spectacular radio, but I had a few Police departments that insisted on cheap radios and wanted the P50. Surprisingly reliable when new and parts were available.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Motorola Radius P50
John, The PL or DPL board could be added to the short or tall case, just depended on if the radio had the connector strip in it. You can have one or the other, required a board change to go from one to the other. Tone set by dip switch. Large battery = more power out. Short usually meant 1 watt, long 5 Watt. A P10 had only one channel 1 watt, P50 usually had 2 channels with Mic/headset Jack and 5 watts. Both came in short or long case. Two crystals and caps needed to change or add a frequency. I have LOTS of these P10's and P50's I would sell cheep with chargers, spare parts, service manual the works. I also have the tool to remove guts from the case without using two screwdrivers. There is also an antenna adapter to BNC. Real technicians used to work on these. You had to know how to solder! I liked them for what they were. Most are VHF. Some with PL, lots of spare DPL boards. Batteries included but unknown condition. New batteries are still available for cheep about $18. There were many different versions and often they got recased so no telling what you got till you pulled the works from the case. Great radios, good range, tough and simple. You can drop one many times and no damage. Good for people who don't have a clue on how to use a radio like at a community festival or mom to mom sale. I am located SE Michigan Shanon KA8SPW

I suffer from occasional CRS :-) Seriously though lookin for a handheld with 4 channels to do 2 meters for a friend in a home. If you come across somethin(cheap, cheap, real cheap) let me know. The state is paying for his care. He got hit by a driver w/ no insurance and no assets to attach. He gets around pretty well though, no bedpans or cute nurses have to hold his antenna for him. :-) --- On Fri, 4/9/10, La Rue Communications laruec...@gmail.com wrote: From: La Rue Communications laruec...@gmail.com Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Motorola Radius P50 To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Date: Friday, April 9, 2010, 1:38 PM You are a cruel one sir.

Joe is right. I used to work for Apple in the Warranty Repair and Refurbishment Dept. and you would not beleive some of the damage these Do it Yourselfers can inflict and say they never touched it.

[Repeater-Builder] Motorola Radius P50
Two questions on this unit. 1) Does anyone know the nomenclature for this? I have checked out several different versions, including one that was built for assignments dated after 3/10/02. I tried to check it out with it, however, it doesnt match up when it came to the power level code. So I scrapped that one. Google searches turn up a pair of them listed on eBay for 250 bucks. (Who are they kidding?) Model number is H (For Handheld) 44GNU1120BN. I beleive it is a UHF, but I would like to know the rest of the specs, spacing, packages, etc. 2) One the same units, I have a Tall one and a Short one.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Motorola Radius P50
The short version is lower power than the tall one. 7.5v @ 600ma on short one, 10.8v pack on longer version. Dip switches are for pl tones only. Correct on units being crystal. Agree with you on ebay; I would'nt pay $5 bucks! 44 pretty sure is UHF @ 4 w, short 1w ? (do not quote me on this; threw those things out MANY moons ago.) If you lift the self adhesive board under battery it usually spells trouble if not done with precision surgery. --- On Thu, 4/8/10, Bill Smith brsc...@yahoo.com wrote: From: Bill Smith brsc...@yahoo.com Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Motorola Radius P50 To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Date: Thursday, April 8, 2010, 6:02 PM It's a 4-watt UHF carrier squelch radio.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Motorola Radius P50
Duly noted on not lifting the boards unless you know exactly what you are doing. I don't quote anyone on any of our units unless IM absolutely certain. The fact that you wouldn't pay 5 bucks for these says a lot about these. Thanks again, both of you, for your sagely advice. What mountaintop can I find you Gurus on? :) John Hymes La Rue Communications 10 S.
