Jim and Group, But I thought that was how Motorola ran their business, five years behind their competition! Well, maybe not that long. It's been a really long time since Motorola was a leader across the board on their products, pagers (in their heyday) and now cell phones are the only two that might apply. What helps Motorola the most is name recognition, deserved or not.

They may keep the LMR and sell off the ham stuff. Motorola has ventured into ham, but they came out with a radio that was 5 years too late for the price. Good radio, but where synthesized radios were coming to market, putting out a crystal radio at a higher price wasn't going to go anywhere. -- Jim Barbour WD8CHL Yahoo!
