I've come on a bit of an opportunity here with a good price on some 220 MHz Motorola CDM1550 <http://www.motorolasolutions.com/en_us/products/two-way-radios/analog-business-radios/discontinued/cdm1550-ls.html#tabproductinfo>'s for sale. They can be converted to the ham band and I'm willing to take care of this on the hardware/software side of things.
These are really great mobile/base for the 220 band, much better in RF performance than any of the Chinese models on the market. They do require a simple programing cable and some software, but it's rather easy to use. The rest of the mod opens them up for 216-225 MHz, 255 channels, and 35W out. you get MDC, emergency response and QCII signaling as well. They come with a microphone.
These were made for the NJ turnpike authority and have a GPS in them. I've never seen this option before, so I made a video of it:

I'm gauging interest with this, if you want one let me know, they will be $100 per radio with local pickup. I'll have them programed with all the Tampa Bay 220 repeaters in them.
