[TrunkCom] older type I and II Motorola sticks

Wed, 10 Jul 2002 20:19:29 -0500

A few kind comments about the STX portables: ;-)

1.  Some models supports 96 Systems with 16 talkgroups each, that's 1563
talkgroups in one radio.
2.  Sensitively and reception is outstanding, better than any ASTRO or
MTS series radio.
3.  Runs for EVER on one battery charge.
4.  You can really knock the crap outa someone without breaking the
radio.

STX portables make great radios but horrible scanners. =20
