GENERAL FEATURES
Channel/Zone Operation
The MT 2000 portable features extensive channel and
zoning capabilities in both of its models. The A4 model
accommodates 48 channels through three zones of 16
channels each. Without zoning operation, the A4 model
is capable of 16 channels selectable from the rotary
selector knob. The A7 model has 160 channels avail-
able through 10 zones that each have 16 channels.
The A7 model can also accommodate all of its 160
channels without zoning operation via channel selection
from the standard 15 button keypad. If rotary only
channel selection is desired on the A7, only 16 chan-
nels can be accessed without zone operation.
AlphaNumeric Display
Both MT 2000 models feature easy to read back-lit
alphanumeric LCD displays which provide the user with
instant channel and radio status information at a
glance. The A4 model has a top mounted six character
star-burst display, and the A7 model has a front
mounted 14 character dot matrix display. The A4 top
mount display is “operator flippable” so it can be read
from the front, or while hanging from one’s belt. All
MT 2000 radios also feature easy to read radio function
annunciators as part of the display windows to provide
the user with vital radio indicators.
Mode and Zone Naming
Both MT 2000 models are field programmable for both
mode and zone naming. Naming of modes and zones
reduces the risk of a user being on an incorrect fre-
quency setting because of cryptic or ambiguous
nomenclature. A combination of mode and zone
names can be six characters in length on the A4 top
display model, and 14 characters in length on the A7
front display model.
Keypad Operation (A7 model only)
A set of 15 back-lit buttons constitutes the keypad on
the front display A7 MT 2000 model. This keypad pro-
vides the user with additional access to the radio’s fea-
tures through the use of navigation buttons. With it, the
radio’s features can be viewed in a scrolling list three at
a time, with all functions just one keystroke away. In
fact, through the programming software, the user can
determine the order in which those features most
important to him appear in the scrolling order. That
way, those most needed radio attributes can be
accessed quickly and easily. A dedicated “home” but-
ton is available so a user can easily exit any function
and return quickly to the last mode use. Additionally, in
those situations where noise must be kept to a mini-

mum, all keystroke tones can be easily muted by

Radio Lock (A7 model only)
This feature provides a means for the user to prevent
unauthorized use of the radio upon power up. All user
accessible functions will be disabled until the correct
password is entered by the user after the radio is
turned on. The radio lock password can even be modi-
fied by the user in the field.
Full Band Operation
The MT 2000 radio features Motorola’s broadest band
range. With “Full Band VHF”, a single model can oper-
ate from 136 to 174 MHz—and with only two models,
you’ll cover the entire UHF band, as well.
Enhanced Audio
The MT 2000 radio is one of the loudest portables ever
developed by Motorola. Improved voice intelligibility at
high volumes means less distortion and fewer miscom-
munications. The radio’s standard noise canceling
microphone minimizes background noise.
Universal Connector
A weather-sealed connector allows all reprogramming,
tuning and testing to be performed without opening the
radio. The connector is multi-functional and allows
quick connect and release of accessories.
Radio-to-Radio Cloning
Using a simple cloning cable you can duplicate one
radio’s operating parameters into another MT 2000
portable of the same model configuration and
sub-band.
Channel Scan Monitoring
Allows the radio to scan up to 16 lists of channels.
Channel Scan is capable of scanning for PL, DPL,
Carrier Squelch, and Stat-Alert Selective Call, and can
be configured for Non-Priority or Single Priority opera-
tion. The MT 2000 radio also includes Talk-back scan
and nuisance channel delete capability where the user
can temporarily delete an unwanted active channel
from the scan list by simply pressing a button.
