[Motorola] GP2000 Questions

[tvsjr at sprynet.com]

My choice would be the HT1550XLS with the FPP battery, or the XTS5000 with the FPP option in the flashcode. Both type-accepted in the US, both very user friendly, although the FPP XTS5000 would be near-impossible to find and in excess of $2500 if you did.

The GP2000 is a toy, in my opinion. Bad audio, too small, etc. It does have the advantage of being one of the few with fourth-column DTMF.

Probably the deviation settings, but the issue is moot
since the radio is not type accepted for sale or use
in the US.
