I found a good deal:
EF Johnson 5113, P25, full keypad w/ front keypad programming enabled, speaker mike, battery, charger for $650.

Came in today.

Yes, the case is orange, but I'm not concerned about it.

Nice setup. FPP is awesome to have, especially if you are also a ham.

As long as it's show and tell time, I'll play along and display my latest purchase.

It's a Motorola XTS2500, VHF, with P25 and FPP (Front Panel Programming). I spent about $700 for the radio, charger, battery and antennas. I bought a helical whip as well as a VHF wideband whip. A speaker mic is on the way right now. I wouldn't have spent that much, but selling some unused stuff on eBay covered the cost. ;D

Lets see some other member owned radios.

My "soon to be declared non-narrowband-compliant transmitter non grata" VX-800.

Actually, looking at the specs, it may be declared OK.. Here's hoping. Just sent an email to the NTC requesting that they make their determination.

If it was compliant pre-Jan 06 AND in CAP service then, it is grandfathered in.

A small concession National made to the members.

Nothing is for sale right now...but here is my setup, missing a few things:

(Old School Saber, HT1250, XTS3000(p25)-From wuzafuzz!!, Motorola Spectra(not digital), Kennwood TK-280, HT1000)

(http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j231/Medic13101/100_0679-1.jpg)
(VHF Motorola Astro Spectra(p25), and off to the corner is a UHF XTS5000, behind that is a MTS2000, GP300, and GP340... and also a SeaBand radio. Below the Spectra is my IC-271 all mode 2 Meter radio-the tuning knob is broken though...it continually tunes upward. :'()

Ebay and a blatant disregard for money management :)

Dang! Its hard enough for me to stop collecting Motorola gear long enough to pay for NCSA's, not to mention my intentions to get an FT-817ND.
