[TrunkCom] BC785/250 Choice

[James Rubin]

Hey Michael,

Howdy. If I were making the same decision, I would first need to 
determine  what my needs really are. To begin with, these are going 
to be brand new radios. In my opinion, better to let the first batch 
out onto the market and see what the reviews are, before laying down 
that kind of dough. Particularly since these are first generation 
digital-capable radios, there is no telling what kinks there might be 
in actual use. Other than those determinations, as you state; 
portability is the only issue, as both models appear to have the same 
specs. I may be wrong about that, but I just re-read the Uniden press 
release and that's how I interpreted the statement. If I was only 
going to get one or the other, I would opt for the hand-held, as it 
gives you much greater flexibility. You can always attach an outdoor 
antenna and the power supply to make it act more like a "base 
station"!. Just my two cents. Good luck whatever your choice is!
Regards,
Jim
