[Motorola] CP-300 What is it exactly?

[Eric Lemmon]

Actually, Motorola did make a CP300 radio, for the Barcelona Olympics in
1992, according to this article:

http://www.bestaudio.com/BarcelonaArticle.htm

The following statement is from that article:  "...The show started with 150
radios but eventually grew to a total of 275. The local "FCC" had decreed
that twelve channels, only one with a repeater, were enough for this show
despite our cries of "Impossible!" In addition, the radios, restricted to 1
Watt to eliminate interference, were not powerful enough to reach all areas.
Motorola had created special CP300 radios on TV channel eight to ensure a
clear channel.  It was rumored that Motorola would destroy the radios after
the event because no country would allow their use normally. What a
waste!..."

However, I do wonder if the "C" might be a "G".  The model number that John
provides should solve this issue.

CP?  Are you sure it's not GP-300?  Guess I have never seen a CP-300, not to

say they don't exist.
