General Information
The R-1801 is a stand-alone programmer for a number of older Motorola devices.
It is self-contained and is housed in a briefcase/suitcase and is affectionately known as a "Suitcase Programmer".
Oceanview Communications is one of a few companies that still has one in operation, and offers programming for those radios which require it.
