[MV] Volunteer Fire/Rescue Needs Help!!

It's hard to believe how hard the mic and speaker for a Motorola Saber RVA
are to find! I've tried several lists, surplus dealers and even Motorola
with no luck! Can't someone help out our Volunteer Fire/Rescue Department
with at least one mic, P/N PMN 6050A and speaker P/N PSN 6007? We will pay
a fair price for them and can PayPal the money right away. As it stands the
brand new in the box RVAs will go unused for the lack of mics and speakers!
These would be great in our rescue trucks and would help save lives,
property, time and wear on the Saber Rs we use for fire and rescue work.

We would greatly appreciate any help that you can give us in finding at
least one mic and speaker! We can send a receipt for your tax records as we
are a non profit, fully Volunteer Department. We need some help and need it
badly! Please check and see if anyone has these for sale, even used,
working will be fine.

Best Regards,

Ed

Can you tell us what telephone number you tried at Motorola, whom you talked
to, and how far, if anywhere, you got?

I will call my contact at the FBI who can, in turn, put me in touch with
FBI's radio guy, but I would need to know how far into Batwing you got, so
as not to retrace your steps.

Email me privately, if you prefer.

Arthur

Hi Arthur,

We are customers of Motorola at the VFRD so I first went through our account rep who insisted that RVAs were never made therefore
there weren't any parts available! She almost died when I told her I had one unit in my hands and read her the part numbers & gave
her the Motorola part numbers for the mic & speaker! She then said that these were "off the list" and I would have to talk to a
government rep at Motorola who she transferred me to. He said of course they were made but without a government account he couldn't
sell any to me or even quote a price!?!? I tried the "we are a local government establishment, explained why we had the RVAs & the
Saber Rs and asked him to please help, no luck there. The phone numbers tried were 800-422-2210, this is the number that they
transferred me from sales to government sales, & 800-227-6772 which is another number that we go through for help and return
shipping labels. I also tried our repair shops in Asheville and Shelby with no luck and blank looks!

I've been on & off Batlabs many times and have left requests for help and/or sales with hardly any answers. I asked Mike Murphy &
John Panik with no luck, didn't ask Steve Haney or Brooke Clark which I'll do after this email. I've been on other email lists and
asked again with little luck. I saw a complete unit on Ebay with all parts and wiring but it went too high for my bid. The normal
SVAs go for around $50 to $75 used so I put my bid at $250 and was beat out!

These RVAs are really great pieces of work and they are strange too. The wiring diagram that I have that was included in the boxes
with the RVAs shows that the speaker wiring also includes the power wiring both going through the same cannon plug! It's even
called the power/speaker plug in the paperwork. The mic and antenna connectors are separate.

We need help with this and need it badly! I would really like to get these units installed and put to good use. We would
appreciate anything that anyone can do to help!

Best Regards,

Ed
