Programming the Motorola Syntor X
The Motorola Syntor X is a series of high performance two-way FM radios that can be found at used prices ranging from $50 for a basic VHF model to $300 for the low-band model that covers 10M through 6M in a single span. Compared to the Syntor X9000, the vanilla X is a bargain. There is no comparison between the typical Japanese "rice-box" radio and any Syntor - the Motorola product is superior in all regards except size. The problem  with using the Syntor X in amateur service (and possibly the main reason the radios are so cheap) is that the details of mode programming are not revealed in any of the Motorola documentation. Without access to an R1800 suitcase programmer, one is S-O-L. That is, until now.

A big thanks to Mike Blenderman, K7IC, who has invested countless hours deciphering the mode setups. Mike has posted detailed information on other aspects of the Syntor-X line.
