[Motorola] RE: [radio-prog@yhgrps] Any moto dealers here?

[Gary]

It may be helpful to note that early last year Motorola put all labels such as
those used on Jedi HT's on their Secure Parts List. Only approved
customers/dealers can purchase them now. As it was explained to me, somebody has
been selling on the internet nonfunctioning Motorola look alike radios with
Motorola labels which has led to Moto's lawyers convincing Moto to restrict the
sales of labels. I went to buy some for MT2000's late last year and ran into
this issue. Don't ya love lawyers.
