  Yeah, when you want positive control of your communications buttons could be a row problem. You don’t want to accidentally pull your mind out and have your radio blaring when no one‘s supposed to know where you’re at. I handled radios for the Air Force and was the name of her radio operator so I can kind of think about why they would have a radio with almost nothing on it.

  @@AdventureCruiser That's not a blank flashcode. If it was blank you would only get "unprogrammed tone" when it's turned on. There should be no channel voice announcement if it's truly a blank codeplug. You should probably "read" them to ensure they won't cause a problem. You could always tick the tx inhibit box, or if it's UHF write FRS programming to it (nobody cares what you use on FRS/GMRS unless it has spurs or you admit it's noncompliant.)

  ⁠​⁠@@ImSkyethe chances of it being programmed to a local frequency that is where he is a million to 1. It would not only need to be on the same frequency, but also have the same PL codes to even key up on that frequency. So no. It doesn’t matter. And if you bothered to read his reply, you would know that he did read the radio, and knows what’s it’s on. He also never said it was unprogrammed. He said it has characteristics that shows it’s not programmed to a department. And yes, default empty channels that have a frequency on them WILL have a zone/channel announcement if the announcement is active on that channel. The only way to get an unprgrammed tone is if there is no channel actually assigned to that physical channel. Like if you have 10 out of 16 channels selected. The rest of the channels will give a tone when the channel knob is on them. Even default radio programming straight from the factory with a factory code plug has frequencies assigned to channels so you would not get the un programmed tone with them.

  Motorola makes all the government radios Years ago the SA used the 300 and 400 bands but they use a lot more bands now. I was lucky enough to see their communication command tractor trailer back in the 90s and all the support vehicles. I saw smart phones, real smart phones, in the 90s The SS had smart phones a decade before the BlackBerry It was wild I worked nights at a communication site and they set up their command center on our access road There was a lot of military vehicles in addition to SS vehicles. Seeing the SS spread out all over the area where the VIP was coming and the number of people that they talked to, it was crazy.

  My duty radio is an APX7000. I got to demo two APX NEXTs for the Eclipse back in April. My big complaints were it was slow to boot (since all of my Zone select functions are in the menu for my programming), I'm torn on SmartConnect because where I could use it...I have 7/800 MHz coverage (VHF Trunking for me). The extra width doesn't fit my hand as well. I don't really care much about SmartMapping or ViQi (Vicky), using Radio Central (I'm trying to migrate 2300+ radios to RM and they won't support Radio Central) either. That being said, I think the writing is on the wall...a new APX8000 versus the NEXT is a $200 price difference when you compare them optioned for the features that the APX8000 can support. The N70 just isn't worth it as it's only really $700 less than a single band NEXT (which is just about the price of adding an extra band to a NEXT). I'll end up buying a next at some point...but I'm not in a massive hurry to.
