I haven’t noticed much of a change in Kenwood equipment availability. If nothing else I think used radio prices have dropped a bit. There a a lot of analog radios available. 

About Hytera radios, I’m on the lookout for a PT850 in the 405-475 band split. This is a digital radio for TETRA.

Yeah, it sort of looks like an Anytone D878 with a hard-on. Oh well, many of their other HT’s have the same antenna placement. Designer I’ll bet got a     bone-ous for the idea.

I’ve seen a few for other band spilts. The radios are usually from the EU or China. TETRA is basically not used in North America. With the tariff on most imports it makes these expensive, or just unobtainable. 

Pt580  Nice Radios.   I have one..     It might show up on Ebay some day    - If they let me  :_)

Well, @Lscott wants one.  He just said he’s looking for one.  Why would you put it on eBay.  Just sell him yours.

Depends on the price. I'm cheap.

This the most current version of the CPS I could find on-line in the attached photo and have installed. I think I saw a reference to a V3.09.13.406 in the link below. So far I can't find a place to grab a downloadable copy.

This goes a long way to explain why you don't see more in the way of TETRA systems here.

I've done pretty good flipping certain Hytera Radio Equip..  Mostly Hytera Repeaters.    I do weekly search's on the stuff and have noticed a huge decline in Hytera equip adds over the last month.  Then yesterday i got an email from an ebay seller i've worked with telling me Ebay is restricting Hytera related adds.    Not only do i see a decline in Hytera stuff but other manufactures i.e. Motorola, Kenwood etc..  Apparently Hytera is on the Homeland Security radar over networking issues..  

They were properly and legally listed by good reputable sellers, and those good sellers aren't going to violate the laws/rules so they leave ebay... my point is that if someone still wants to sell those radios on eBay against the rules they very much can and do. The rules only stop the honest sellers on eBay and eBay does not care about people skirting the rules... I use to sell on eBay and closed my store because I can't compete with the criminals they let list on there.
