: Hey Guys,
: I work for an agency in King County who utilizes the King County and
: Seattle trunk. Our portables are checked back in after shift, and
: I wanted to look into getting my own portable, like a Motorola
: MTX800. If I bought one is there anyone who can program the
: radio to my specs? I doubt the comm shop would program a personal
: radio besides we use Astro Sabers and that's too much for what I want,
: Also if you have anyrecommendations on a different radio, that would be nice.
I believe there is an ordinance that states that only the administrator of a trunked radio system has the authority to program a radio for that TRS (i.e. the comm shop). Also, I believe that Motorola handheld trunked radios start out at about $1500.
