Make sure you don't have any early model Mocom 70 (we're talking early 70s here). The initial production runs did not have the famous and reliable cavity front end in the receiver but a series of copper cans with coils inside. These were as broad as a barn door and resulted in desense from any radio within a couple of city blocks. Motorola rapidly responded to complaints and switched to the same type of receiver front end as had been in the Motrac. Problem solved. A word to the wise.
That being said, if you insist on using a Mocom 70, keep it cheap because there are lots better, more reliable and more compact radios in the used market these days. 73 ..

As others have said, that radio is the USA model called the "Mocom 70". It was preceded by the Motrac (hybrid tube/transistor) and the Motran (all transistor) and followed by the Micor.
