Coy,
I've never seen an MX500, but I remember using the MX300R for an Air
Force project back in the mid-80's. This was a ruggedized model that
was encased in a black rubber jacket. Although somewhat reliable, they
were pretty expensive- about $3,800 per copy with DVP encryption.
The problems I referred to in the APCOR were similar to those seen in
the 300-series handheld radios of the same vintage, where each of the
functional elements in the radio was in a plug-in module. My buddies in
the radio business said that every 300-series radio built had a problem
with contact corrosion of looseness at least once in its lifetime- which
was remarkably short.
