To me that is amazing coverage with a 1 watt digital radio. Now the conditions may not always be perfect so the radio works all the time but out of all the tests I have done I would stick with the DTR units.

Well that makes perfect sense, because the 900 MHz DTR radio would have far better building penetration than VHF or even UHF. Probably the best reason for why 900 MHz reportedly works so well is because when you're actually in a park, you're in a very congested and "urban-like" environment where 900 MHz performs best.
