Holux made a model 240, which came out after the 236 and it is this same pack of gum size unit. I believe the 1200 is the same idea and it has similar attributes. It is cute and small but it doesn't work as well up against buildings as the 1000. This could be because the patch antenna has a smaller surface area than the 1000. Smaller isn't always better. However if you aren't among tall buildings a lot, the 1200 is probably fine.

Hi, I have taken a look at the m-1200. Here's the story as i see it. 1. it has 12 to 15 hours of battery life. 2. it does not have a user replacable battery. 3. it's performance is slightly less then the m-1000. That could be because i had it in my backpocket for a short time and it was all over the place. Having said that, it still is a good little receiver. it's shaped like a stick of gum so it is too small to fit in the holux custom case. If the size of the receiver is an issue, you could use the m-1200.
