Motorola Increase In Price!
This has been discussed back and forth on batlabs. I don't have much contact with anyone over there, or buy may parts, but it sounds like they are charging the customer more, and delivering a worse quality of service/product to the end user...
I like the looks of the waris series of radios. They look like they are starting to pack a decent amount of features into the radio. However, I wouldn't buy an HT750 or HT1250. Not worth the downtime. I would consider one of the 1550's, I hear they are actually working better than the 1250's are.
In the meantime, I'll be happy with my MT2000 at my side.

Motorola Increase in Price
My shop here isn't all that thrilled about it - while they get a lot of state bid work, they still have a *large* # of fleet accounts, including local public safety, who won't be able to afford the increases for long.
I have found a lot of colleagues searching for the "classic" radios -- mostly MT1000 and HT1000's, and the occasional MT2000 -- because depts here won't buy new radios due to the impending change to 800 trunk and the old radios are just wearing out (we just stopped using the last MT500...)
I'll stick with my HT1000 and GE/Ericsson MPA and MRK, thanks.
