@@orpheusepiphanes2797 generational shift. They use different programming software, the APX has Bluetooth and a few other features, a screen on the top and front with speaker on the back. The APX also has better noise suppression. As far as functional for most non-professionals, they are very similar. The APX is a cool radio, but flash factor aside, the XTS is a great radio.

How much you pay for the system? Getting a radio and in need of the PTT comms unit. But I'm seeing the cost of $250 is that about right?

@@AdventureCruiser just curious. Are you selling these radios or buying them to use? I used many different types in my 30 year carrier. Bus and Motorolas most recently. I understand the programming and how difficult Motorolas are to program. Or systems in California a very technical to keep folks that should not be there out.

@@markbeach549 great question, I always thought that there would be a market for these, but it turns out that all I really end up doing is buying and holding them. I’m really bad at selling things. I love the technology that goes into the creation of these radios, I love, the mixture of art with engineering, and it’s just a passion of mine. Sure, I’d love to be able to sell some of them and make some of my “investment“ back, but I don’t see that really happening anytime soon. I’m willing to sell a few here and there, but I absolutely don’t want to become a radio dealer, radio seller, or anything other than an aficionado. That being said, in the next couple of months, I do plan on offloading a big part of my collection as I’ve had some family issues that I need the finances for more than my radio collection.

What’s the current price for the earwig device? I believe they are made by Otto for the big M. That was in the catalog back in the 90’s. I am still using my Astro Saber and programming of the Astro is not easy. The CPS for the XTL 5000 is a lot friendlier for programming a radio but you are looking at programming logic from 25 (if not 30) years ago compared to the logic used for the XTL series from the early mid 2000’s.

Currently 16 talkgroups, but this radio has a wildcard feature where you program a talkgroup with a value of “0”(wildcard) and it lets all traffic in the entire system through. I typically program an entire zone as a wildcard, and through Radio Reference program the entire list of talkgroups into the radio. I then program a button for nuisance delete.

Is this just a skin on android that doesn’t really do much? I want an actual custom os and hardware with security first and kill switches for the mic, camera and most importantly and what this phone does not have: a kill switch on the gps. And the kill switch has to be on the exterior of the phone like apples silent mode switch. 3 separate switches that physically disconnect the wiring even when the phone is on. (This phone claims to disconnect only when the phone is turned off if it even does that). Unless I’m using the camera or sending a vn the switches stay off. When I need to drive somewhere the gps gets connected. When I pull up it’s off. And the phone should have the option in settings to give you a notification to turn it off when you finish certain tasks in case you forget which will happen over time. A software that actually tells you when apps are tracking you even when you clicked dont track and a way to turn the tracking off on the software end is another great addition to privacy hardware.
