The marking on the lower row of buttons (* 0 #) are already starting to rub off after 3 months. You have to keep the unit in "lock" anytime you're not changing channels, etc.or you will mistakenly push a button and change power level, go into scan, etc. The upper row of buttons are too easily depressed when you open the belt clip. The radio has good speaker audio.better and louder than my other HT's.th79, vx-5r, vx-3r, th78. I have heard the HK shops took a bunch of old Moto surplus inventory and assembled the radios from parts. I bought one of those eBay Hong Kong seller radios which they say are "95% new" whatever that means. It is rugged, very well built (as always from Motorola). It has also a phone patch facility using codes for access, and direct dial, which are applicable to a commercial radio, but you just switch these off.Īudio is brilliant on both send and receive.
Full range of CTCSS tones, programmable repeater offsets, etc. Spec is 20 memories, high (4w) and low (1w) and full VFO coverage in 5, 10, 12.5, 15, 20 and 25kHz steps from 430-470MHz.
If you need it email me and I will send you a copy. The supplied manual on disk is awful, but online you can find the Motorola AP73 manual in PDF form, which is the amateur 2m version and the instructions are much clearer. I bought one of these as a cheap 70cm handie (yes ther are GP68's for 70cm and 2m).īought from Hong Kong via ebay (g8hkshop)It cost me £29.90 plus £13.50 postage, so just over £40 for what looks like a brand new 4w 70cm handie c/w desk charger can't be bad.
