[FedCom] Manhunters tv series

[John Marcel]

Checking out the online episode (the Columbian Doctor), the small HT looks
just like a Vertex VX-820 (Likely the VX-P820, P25 version). The larger HT's
look like an XTS Series Motorola. Although it didn't look like it had the
usual center "Disc" on the keypad. But everything else about it said "XTS".
Both HT's antennas looked like classic High-Band, The Mobile handset looks
like the Motorola described.
