Motorola Radios Front Panel Programmable

Great little radios, so far. Good range relative to similar Motorola Talkabouts.

I use Motorola radios for communication between crewmembers when on video shoots. When our hands are otherwise occupied with cameras, lighting, and audio, this remote speaker/mic makes portable radios more efficient and useful. This product works perfectly, with good transmission and reception.

Great aspects include the many programmable features and bigger control panel. My old WACOM was over 10 years old so this is a big step up. Not working so well is the wireless mode. I finally gave up.

I was a little apprehensive about spending this much for a mouse. Knowing that B&H has a great return policy, I decided to try it. This thing is really cool. I like it. The mouse is that 6-inch tube on the front edge. You basically roll it a combination of side to side and front to back to move the mouse. It’s very intuitive. It’s super smooth. In the center of the silver section is the scroll wheel and that’s very smooth too. There are 10 different cursor speeds; 600 DPI to 2400 DPI. You have to set the copy/paste keys to PC or MAC. The product highlights say 6 programmable buttons. That’s not accurate. The only programmable button is the double click and you can only change it to a handful of options – like middle click, etc. So, the only buttons are the copy, paste, left click, right click, and double click. You can also perform a left click on the 6-inch mouse bar. If you can afford it, get this.

Great front panel layout. Perfect sound. If you need a compressor this will do just fine.

This is a great case to build in. The airflow through the mesh front panel is awesome.

I work in a bowling alley and these radios make a good radio to communicate with front and the other mechanics even over the machines which can be very loud. I always get a good clear sound and never miss someone talking to me

I wish all products were designed as well as CyberPower UPSs. Replacement was easier than I had imagined. Remove one small screw below the front panel, pop off the front panel, unplug the cable, slide out the old battery... Reverse the process with the new battery... It took all of 3 minutes.

The front mesh panel is essential to keeping your tower cool. The pink is adorable, which is a plus.

From a listening perspective, there is really no difference in the sound reproduction between the Crown XLS 1000 & 1002 series of power amplifiers ... both easily meeting an audiophile's criterion of a perfect amplifier ... a straight wire with gain. The most visible difference with the XLS 1002 Amp series is the symmetrical restyling of the front panel with a larger & brighter centrally-placed LCD display, clipping indicators & controls. The front air vents have also been re-positioned to provide more efficient cooling. Apart from a new pair of AUX connectors (for the sleep mode), the back panel's input/output connectors are unchanged. Not readily visible, but several enhancements have been made to the menu options. In addition to the older XLS 1000 menu options for configuring the amp outputs & cross-over frequencies, one can now ... select between an input sensitivity of 1.4 Volts (default) and 0.75 Volts, set a time-delay to put the LCD display to sleep, toggle on & off the blue front panel lights and the green signal level indicators, and lock the menu buttons. These are all nifty new enhancements, but one needs to bear in mind that there is no significant audible differences in the the sound performance between the two series of XLS Crown amplifiers ... both are amazing performers. A note to Canadian buyers ... due to some unspecified reason, B&H cannot ship any of the Crown XLS series of amplifiers to Canada. However one can order them online from a Canadian supplier, e.g., Axe Music Inc. or Moog Audio.
