For the last couple of years I have been heavily into P25 gear. I live a a mile west of Los Angeles, have a few local p25 repeaters and thats what got me stuck on p25 radios, Motorola, EFJ and even BK, midland. Lately I have been pretty bored with my p25 gear because as a ham op, p25 is not widely used. I have been wanting to have a go with DMR, and am uncertain if I should invest in a xpr7550e. I am not clear if I'd be able to access a local dmr repeater but def could use it to listen to analog and local commercial dmr. Before I go and spend $800 on a new portable I am in the need to know.
How durable is a xpr7550 to say a xts5000?
How's the battery life on the xpr7550 "impress lion"?
Is a xpr7550 the same setup is the xts, xtl,efj as far as zones go? For exmp, I want a minimum of 8 zones, ham analog for zone 1, ham dmr for zone 2, commercial dmr for zone 3 etc etc with 16 scan channels in each zone with separate scan lists.
What's the differences between the standard xpr7550 vs the E series? Only differences I have read are better sensitivity on the E series and slight change on the housing to make it water proof up to 6 feet for 3 hours.
