Subject: ??s?: Motorola Radius (P200) radio
Organization: Digital Equipment Corporation
Date: Mon, 14 Dec 1992 14:41:15 GMT



I have been thinking about getting a radio for a while.  I buddy in my sqaud
has a Motorola P200 (radius line) and I think that is one of the slickest
looking radios I have seen. He just picked it up so didn't have anything to say 
about it except the specs.

Does anyone have any experience with these radios? or the others in this line?

Where might be an inexpensive source for one?

What is the availability of used radios in this line? Would you recommend
buying used?


thanks

We currently utilize the Motorola MT1000 (Radius P200) if you go through
a regular Motorola rep and buy a MT1000 you can get 16 channels, scan
capable. I am not sure if the P200 can scan, they are the same radio
only one is sold by Motorola and the other is sold by dealers. We love
the radio, they take the abuse and keep on working.

arrested. If some ordinary citizen walked up the me on the street and 
tried to grab my camera I'd be perfectly justified in punching his

Agreed that you  emergency personnel need official immunity, but with it

I once thought strobes were the greatest thing since sliced bread but
recent experiences have led me back to halogen rotating lamps.  My
biggest complaint is that strobes tend to wash-out in sunlight.  This
is especially a problem with amber and red when the sun shines directly
on the colored filter.  Their short duration tends to cause temporary
blindness which can 1) make it difficult for some drivers to distinguish
the color of the strobe, and 2) can cause traffic accidents because
motorists cannot see where they are going.  I am aware that several of
the strobe manufacturers make a day/night switch.  This helps a lot at
night but does little to overcome the sun during the day.  The larger
strobes (generally too large for most POVs) seem to do a lot better job
than the mini dash-mount kinds.  I have found that placing small stobes
in shadowed areas (where it's hard for the sun to hit) does help.  One
additional problem is that some people (this includes emergency vehicle
drivers) are sensitive to stroboscopic light.  Strobes can greatly affect
a person's depth and speed perception and can make driving very difficult
in heavy snow because of the hypnotic effect the snowflakes produce.  Now
this is not to say that strobes are all bad.  I like them for their low
power consumption.  I have on several occasions had to have my vehicle
jump started because I left my halogen rotators on and the engine off.
On-scene, a single strobe may provide adequate warning (without the need
to run the full light bar).  Further, in very cold climates, strobes
may work better than mechanical lights --where gears and chains can freeze
up and cause motors to burn out.  I do realize, however, that cold weather
can affect the brightness and oscilation frequency of strobes.  To conclude,
I'm not totally writing off strobes but I would tell anyone who is
considering using them to check them out in the worst possible conditions
(bright sunny day, in the snow, or driving behind one at night).  If you're
going to have warning lights they might as well be seen!       ..Chris..

Just a little note about fires in college dormitories.  The fire alarm system
at my school almost never wakes me up.  I was (when I lived in the dorms)
always being woken up by the RA of my floor who had to key all rooms on the
floor.  My answer was to go out and buy a $10 smoke detector that I laid on a
high shelf right over my bed.  That was loud enough to wake me up.  If it is a
false alarm, I didn't care, the RA can wake me up, but if it would have been an
actual fire, I would have liked some advanced warning.

I may b wrong, but I think the he minitors can be set with an option so the
position of the volume control also controls the volume of the alert tone.
You can then use an earpiece, with the volume low, in class without disturbing
the other students.

World,
   I'll try to post the whole article by Solomon as its only two pages long
and several people have asked for a copy of it.  The only problem with the
short duration strobe is people cannot recognize that it is a warning light
if the duration is too short.  Again, you also have the problem with blinding
people at night with short duration/high power strobes.
   From my experience, the strobes on the grill and rearward facing seem to
work well, tho I have not performed a scientific study on this.  The grill 
strobes have near blinded me at night and I was told by an officer following
our ambulance to an EMS call that the rearward facing strobes were blinding.
One of our ambulances does have the "day/night" switch but I haven't noticed
a difference (possibly because of the other rotating and flashing lights
overloading the vision system).

Just for info, Motorola is manufacturing a vibrating voice pager these days,
although it's for regular paging, and isn't a monitor pager.  It has a chip
with memory, and if it's in quiet mode (ie: vibrate), it won't play the message
but instead saves it for later playback.  It's a neat pager, but might not
suit your needs due to the fact that it doesn't have a monitor mode.

Well, you could use an earphone with the minitor II. A little

We've been using the mt1000 for several years, and they have been great,
since we had the original models, we had to upgrade each one (@$150/radi

I also find, they have great range...and as any motoralla product goes,
they take a licken and keep on ticken.

The only modification I would make to the radio is to obtain a new
antenna, the 1/4 wave antenna (Rubber Ducky) you get with the radio
is ok, however, for an added $15.00 and about 1.5 to 2 inches you can
get a 1/2 wave antenna...I don't have the address on that but I will
try and get it for you.
