[Motorola] Multiple mobile radios on one band

[tvsjr]

Acutally, they're almost exclusively on the public safety range. I've got a 
Kenwood TM-D700 for APRS and amateur use. There isn't a radio that compares 
to a Genuine Motorola. Much as people complain about their marketing, BS, 
and cost, once you've used Motorola it's hard to use anything else. They 
have their own quirks and limitations (16 channels in scan on all models 
being a big one), but that's why I have a scanner. Being able to do 
dual-priority correctly (single-priority with most radios leaves the 
non-priority channels almost unintelligible because of the checking), 
PL/DPL scan, Quik Call/Singletone, being able to use zones, etc. are what 
make it worth the money.
