--- In MidlandLMR@yahoogroups.com,
Minor correction: Midland had nothing to do with the RT-85.
It was an AWA project to produce a competitor for the Midland Syntech
1 series. Both used Hitachi synthesiser and Rx boards. AWA sourced
these direct from Hitachi in Japan. AWA produced their own PA
assembly in Oz.


The location of SOME info in the Z-273 module in the RT-85 differs
from the Midland. Also the RT-85 only supports one scan group.
There are other subtle non-physical differences.

They also could be set up to do voting instead of scanning. Etc etc.
And it was sold by AWA which evolved into EXICOM on the split up
of AWA into it's variuos sections. The RT85-C model was a Sybtech 1
with a different remote head interface and "EXICOM " labelled front on
the tranceiver case, still had the Midland FCC model plate though.
