In 1932, Paul Galvin selected Wavering to lead Motorola's car radio and police two-way communications businesses.
Motorola Type I and Type II systems achieve the same thing in a slightly different way. One important distinction between these systems is the amount of data transmitted by each radio when the operator pushes the PTT button. A Type I system transmits the radio's ID, its fleet information, and the subfleet information.
