Norm,
I doubt it. The GMN6147B mike that is specified for the MTR2000 station is
an optional mike for the MCS2000 mobile radio, which normally uses HMN4069E,
HMN4072E, or NMN6210D mikes. Since these mikes are not used on MaxTrac,
GM300, or M1225 mobile radios, there is likely to be a

Norm,
the MTR2000 mic jack will work fine with most of Motorola's mobile mics except
for a select few. Can't give you a concrete answer without knowing which mic
you're concerned about.

Are all the original cards in it when it was programmed? If it was programmed
with any optional boards installed they must be in place at all times after.
Also have you've added any cards after programming that will also cause this

You can expect to spend at least $1000 for a used MTR and anywhere from $4000
