Decades ago I carried the start of the art P25 Motorolla that had a price tag of $2,500. Now I can only dream....
It is incredible how much the cost has increased. Thanks for watching !
It priced it self out of the market....
The performance, feature set, and durability of the APX Next XN are impressive. Radio manufacturers of "public safety" grade communications gear are always trying to add more bells and whistles with each new model. I feel like they sometimes lose sight of the fact that the core function of the equipment is to be able to communicate when your life depends on it. Additional features often mean increased complexity to operate for the end user. While they are cool, I think many of the features are better left to a smart phone. Even for a government agency, 16K for a portable may be challenging to justify. I think I would rather hang onto an APX 8000. Of course, I am a grumpy old luddite! Great test and review!
Yes it is incredible how expensive radios have become and you are right too much smart stuff isnt smart. Many of the other vendors offer comparable products for less money. I want to try the V8000 kenwood. Thanks for watching !
@@survivalcommsfrom what I heard they are great have A fire department near my that uses them and they love them
@@stephen9958 Thanks for sharing and thanks for watching !
I did try that with my Anytone, in a Dairy Queen. Radio went weird. Worked and then didn't work. frustrating.
11 and 15 yr daughters were antenna testing trying to learn VNA systems and were frustrated for a week. Turns out that antenna was bad.
They learned the VNA, and also a valuable lesson in testing and problem solving..
The Motorola are cool.
They dont like to be dropped. In Anytone's defense I have a Kenwood THD74A which is an awesome radio but I think dropping it would render it unservicable. Thanks for watching !
Who the hell can afford that? With programming it’s more like $17,000.00. Great for a large municipality or State organization. I’ve used the APX 700 and 800. They are stout units that rarely fail, but too expensive. We used to have a saying in Public Safety radio. Motorola, you can buy better, but you can’t pay more! Try testing Bendix King/ Relm next.
Yes it is outside of individual finance and I made mention of that as well as I wouldn't as an individual purchase something like this. Keep your eyes peeled a BK offering may be inbound soon. Thanks for watching !
Haha - the only radio that I have that I would do that with is my $30 Baofeng. My VX-6R may survive, but for what that costs I still can't attempt. And forget doing that with my Kenwood TH-D74!
PS - you got a code plug for that? :)
I'm not dropping my TH-D74 either :)
How did u buy? And what dealer
It was a demo. Thanks for watching !
Taxpayer funds up in smoke.
Perhaps but would you put your life on the line with your baofeng ? No one else cares to either. Thanks for watching !
