Unlocking The Menu On Motorola Hand Radio

The Motorola CLS - 1110 is a fine handheld radio. It has decent range and can be programmed so as not to interfere with other radio frequencies. More than the radio, however, I was totally sold on the customer service I got from B&H. It was as good as I could have imagined leaving no room to ask for more. Thanks-

The CLS-1110 2-way radio by Motorola is small, lightweight and easily accessible for my assisted living staff. If only there was a way to eliminate the protruding antenna (can easily get in the way), this would be the world's most perfect unit!

5 stars! Stable and very easy to adjust level with slider on.

The camera is easy to customize through the Quick Menu which allows you to select which features you need to have on hand for changes.

I use this to control a Yongnuo flash with a built-in YN-622C radio as well as a Nissin flash sitting on top of a YN-622C transceiver. I used to control the flashes via the flash menu on my Canon 70D. That worked but was annoying because it required so many button presses. This controller makes flash control a pleasure, it is son much faster and easier than using the camera’s menu. Highly recommended.

I bought these radio's a few years ago and have enjoyed them ever since. Very easy to use menu functions and great range. I am thinking about doing a review of these walkie talkies on my youtube channel. Thanks

I bought this radio for use on the trail and initial impressions are very good. One of my favorite features is the small size; it allows you to mount the radio just about anywhere. I also like the ease of setting up repeaters. We have several GMRS repeaters here in Tucson and I've been able to hit them all. I haven't tested the limits but I've regularly been hitting a repeater 15 miles away. I have it paired with Midlands 6db antenna and mag NMO mount which seems to work well. The SWR on it showed 1.04 without any extra tuning or fiddling. The menu interface is hard to follow since all menu options are abbreviated to 2 letters. I find that I don't go into the menu enough to have them memorized so I keep the manual handy. Another con is the mount for the microphone does not come with screws, only adhesive. I found my microphone on the floor of my truck after one day in the Arizona sun. I quickly remedied the problem with a self tapping screw. I also would have preferred a channel knob on the unit itself instead of buttons on the microphone. Aside from those few minor items the radio is great!

Good menu, great choices, comfortable in hand, easy to use. Solid camera.

Weight and smaller size yet fit beautifully in your hand. Quiet as a mouse. Menu confusing but itll work out in a short while and a call to 1-800-OK CANON!!!! All uploads shot with adapter and Tamron 28-300 mm lens.

Very capable camera in a compact package. Superb image quality when light is available and ISO is kept low. A bit more noise than I expected by ISO 1600, but with killer f/1.2 primes, you can make a big old light hole when you need to. Auto ISO implementation is one of the best I’ve encountered. External controls save lots of time menu-diving, though this does require two-hand operation (drive function and aperture have to be adjusted with your left hand). Coming from a Canon, where these adjustments can quickly be performed with one’s right hand alone, this took the most getting used to. The aforementioned menu is dense but logical, the consequence of having been clearly designed by a camera company and not the producers of Spider-Man (hello, SONY). EVF is surprisingly good. I honestly expected less at 2.36m dots, well beneath the competition, but with the refresh rate in boost mode, it's not bad at all. Joystick is a little too small, and as others have mentioned, the Q button is indeed awkwardly placed. So, who’s this for? In my eye, travel & street photographers, where the convenience of a smaller form factor pays its greatest dividends.
