I've gotten hooked on ham DMR. I have always loved Motorola stuff and would like to upgrade from my starter rig - TYT MD-380 to a XPR6550 (UHF). I'm homing in on the 6550 because it looks like a lot of radio for the money right now.
I have an appreciation for the expense and challenges with programming. Setting that aside, is there anything that I need to worry about as I shop for a unit? I saw a post once that mentioned a particular version of the 6550 that wouldn't work for ham DMR on the UHF bands. I can't find the posting any more. If it's true, and someone can give me some details I would appreciate it.
I'm eager for any suggestions, recommendations, gotchas that folks are willing to give.
Thanks a lot,
