BUYER BEWARE - NEW UPGRADED ARDV10 - IS IT TRUE?

There is a rumour that AOR are releasing a new batch of AR-DV10's in 2020, with ALL the problems fixed, including the hardware related frequency drift.

I HOPE that is true, but anyone considering buying an AR-DV10 should be VERY careful.

AOR have not been exactly truthful or helpful about the original problems so far. Unless the latest DV10's have had stable frequency compensation hardware (not firmware) modifications built in, that problem will always remain. It can be very significant...

Is Motorola HAM friendly?

I wish to buy MotoTRBO software FROM MOTOROLA. I do not wish to get it illegally, free, etc. However, my question is one of amicability. I'm still unhappy about an incident with Mr. Ken Wood about spending money for one of their dealers to program two radios for GMRS use and then being told exactly where to go. Before I register with Motorola On Line and have issues, has any licensed HAM successfully bought CPS software from them? Or would I just be better off getting one of the Chinese DMR...
