Hi - I read in a post you made in late March on the hamtrbo.org forum about trying out the Hytera (HYT) equipment on a mototrbo system you had up and running to see how it worked and how compatible it was. Also you mentioned an outlet for hams to purchase. Of the HYT dealers I have seen and places offering HYT equipment no one is offering the equipment yet - to be fair the product announcement was only last month so these things do take time I guess.
Any word on how things are working with the equipment on your system if you managed to get that far yet? --- In Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com, <k7...@...> wrote: > > HYT will offer it at the IWCE this year and will get broshures and info for > the new web site. > > > > > > Mike Mullarkey K7PFJ > > 6886 Sage Ave > > Firestone, Co 80504 > > 303-736-9693 > > > > > > _____ > > From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com > [mailto:repeater-buil...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Gareth Bennett > Sent: Sunday, February 14, 2010 1:30 PM > To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com > Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] HAM Mototrbo Systems > > > > > >  > > The Vertex MotoTrbo product is just a re-badged and watered down Motorola > product and nothing more.
