Tim,
Now THAT'S a loaded question. hehehehe
Be prepared - now you'll get responses from Motorola fans,
GE/Ericsson/MA-Com/Tyco fans, Kenwood, et al. So now it becomes a question
of: new vs. old equipment; what purpose of usage (commercial vs. ham); etc.

Steve and all,
FWIW - We [Will County (IL) EMA] have four EF Johnson base/repeater units
installed in a trailer designed for interoperability here in Illinois, and
we've had nothing but problems with them. First the VHF went south (and
were eventually replaced - by Johnson - with mobiles for
Mike, yours is a very good comment, Moto / MA/COM. Probably the best
approach would be to compare specifications, and take a good look at each
product for serviceablilty. Don't forget EF Johnson - I have 10 or 15 of
their VX series, and 5 or 6 M3, and a handful of Kenwood TKR820's and such
that
Mark, I am sure sorry to hear about the EFJ's going south. That has not
been my experience. I have had a couple of VCO's get noisy and one or two
power supplies fail, but this is over a 10 year period.
I do hope the manufacturer can get this resolved quickly.

And that statement is just the tip of the iceberg...
Talk to any long-term Johnson dealer.
I have used, programmed, setup, and interfaced both the Motorola and MA/COM
equipment. I like both equally. The Motorola Quantar is very nice, and
everything is self contained. Not big on the MTR2000 station but they are fine
as well. The MA/COM MASTR III repeaters are great also. Only drawback
Hello Andy, are you meaning the M3 is not made for 800 Mhz., or not dual
band (800/900)? The ones I maintain are 800 Mhz. Steve

My bad on that one Steve. Meant to only throw it in as 900. We had a need
for a high split 900 station 934-950 and could not get a M3. Still fighting
Motorola for a Quantar to use there. Due to the frequency pair we have, it
overlaps
