The Ortovox M1 was released in 1998 and discontinued in ~2000.
Ortovox recalled the M1 and M2 due to a problem with variances in battery sizes.
See the review of the M2 for a similar Ortovox analog transceiver.
Pros: Long range. Excellent analog transceiver.
Cons: Many (e.g., no direction indicator, can't resolve spikes, etc).
