I'd written the interface years earlier but I gently asked "Er, guys, you do know Motorola doesn't make that anymore? Do you have one?" Turned out they didn't so chaos ensued. https://www.ebay.com/itm/122618898601 I'm sure there are agencies that actually are shopping on eBay to keep their radio system alive. It was a great system in its day but its day was about 1985. It's understandable considering a medium sized agency may have several hundred thousands of dollars invested in the existing system and getting money for new hardware isn't as esay as getting it for DEI training.
