It doesn't act the same when I plug in the programming cable. When you connect the SDS, it asks you if you wanna connect...this one doesn't. USB mount tone, but the computer doesn't see the radio.

Portable coverage looks very poor from the provided maps. If those are correct, the "upgrade" would have worse performance than the current system. Does anyone know if they state has started any site deployment? Document says Motorola claims there will be... Read more View article »
