co worker got a storage unit in a auction and a Motorola RDX RDU4100 2 Way Radio was in the unit he has no use for it but when i look into it seems like a complicated set-up…. should i make him a offer?? anyone know if this is a good model??/ seen price online and WOW but im not gunna offer him that much!!!! i also dont know if he has the chargeing unit for it or not….
ANY AND ALL INFO WELCOME!!!!!
Did some research on those.. You will need to get Motorola’s software and cable to program them, but they are fairly simple…
They are worth about $250 each it appears.
yes….. hopeing he dosent do research and me offering $30-$50 might make him happy and i walk off with nice gear…. it was made in 2008 but they still support the model on the site so parts and things arnt hard. ill find out on monday and aproach him on it.
honestly idk why i want it but seems like in a TEOTWAWKI situation it might come in handy
anyone else care to chime in?? if i can get a good deal is this thing worth it??? or should i just get a newer model after i save up???
An Amateur license will work too assuming that the radio can be programmed in the ham band. I highly recommend that you get your Amateur license anyway as it can be a very useful component of your edc system.
I think I would stay away from this one unless it is throw away cheap.
This radio does not allow any channel entry from the radio itself so it will need to be programmed into channels that will be usable for you and in your area.
If you are not a Ham or radio user now it will be tough to decide how to program it to be useful and depending on the exact model and configuration it might not be useful at all anyway if you only have one of them?They are nicely made as are most Motorolas but it might be a boat anchor for you if not a radio person already.
For the money you suggested you can get a brand new Ham transceiver and it will be a lot more useful and work towards getting your Amateur Radio Ticket so you can use it.
