ACCESSORIESWe get calls everyday from customers asking what to do now that their Motorola two way Radio has been discontinued. Most of these callers express that they were happy with their existing Motorola radio and now have to find something else to replace it with. They commonly ask:
- Will the new Motorola radios work with my existing radios?
- Will the new Motorola radios perform as well as my existing radios?
- What about the batteries, chargers and accessories I’ve invested in? Are any of these backwards compatible with my existing Motorola radios?
- Will Motorola continue to make accessories and repair parts for my discontinued radios?
To answer these questions, it’s important to address why Motorola makes these kinds of changes. Motorola is the industry leader in engineering and development and is constantly striving to improve the quality and performance of their products. So when Motorola discontinues a radio they typically replace it with a new and improved version. For example, the Motorola SP50 and SP50+ radios were the highest selling radios in the country for years. Motorola developed two new radios, the Motorola CP200 and the Motorola CP150 to replace these popular radios. Some of the new improvements to the CP200 and CP150 over the SP50 and SP50+ are better audio quality, smaller size, more durable, longer lasting lithium-ion batteries and better chargers. With these radios, all the audio accessories, such as headsets, remote speaker microphones and earpieces are backwards compatible as well.
