APX8000XE vs/ APX8000HXE
Posted: Fri Aug 09, 2019 12:04 pm
Does anyone know the differences between these 2 portables?
The only 2 things I can glean from the current ECAT are: (1) the HXE is HazLoc Div 1, and the regular XE is HazLoc Div 2, and 2) the HXE is packaged in a taller housing vs/ the shorter case of the XE (for some unknown reason). I get that, but does anyone know what the actual hardware deltas are?
Also, for some weird reason, the HXE APB pricing is not in the current July 2019 ECAT, only all of its option prices. No top line basic HXE radio price is shown in the ECAT, like a mistake/incomplete. I wonder if the difference in price is limited to the $800 upgrade cost for the rugged housing of the XE, and perhaps this is already included in the base price of the HXE? Just wondering, as I get the feeling the XE may be on the way out (new as it is!), and will soon be replaced by the HXE.
Thanks, in advance, for any help on this.
