Western Railroad Discussion > MOTOROLA RADIO SERVICE QUESTION

I would like to know if there is a radio shop in the Southern California area that provides service (such as changing channels) for "Vintage" Motorola RR radios? Thanks in advance.

Just about any business radio shop worth its salt should be able to assist you.

The Radio Shop on the UPRR all our radios are "vintage".

I would find out what "vintage" your radio is... crystal vs. programming. If its its the former, use the internet and find radio shops and traders and try to trade or get credit for old chips versus paying for them out right.

If your radio can be programmed, you can look locally or even buy the cable and sleeze for the old software to program it.

If you know an amateur radio operator, check with them. Usually they have a billion connections and friends that can hook a guy up with old radio parts.


Good luck

Richard,

I've dealt with the following company in Gardena. Don't know if you're in the Los Angeles area, but I've taken several radios there for reprogramming and had good luck.
