[Motorola] Vehicle Adapter for HT1250

Wed, 23 Jul 2003 16:07:37 -0400

I dont' have experience with the ht1250 or it's VA, but I cant' say enough about the Pro-Fit brackets. Those brackets are great.  Panavise makes some that are similar too.  You can find both at Tessco.com or check out pro-fit at www.pro-fit-intl.com
