I've been to the Motorola site and looked at the specs, but what ever is different doesn't seem to jump out at me..
What is the difference?
Thanks in advance.

To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:
Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.
If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.
To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.
The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.
For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).
This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.
Difference between MTR and XPR repeaters

Mainly with regards to continuous duty and power output. MTR3000s can TX up to 100W while all XPRs are less than 50. I'm sure I'm missing some others, but that's the biggest.
Ah, great, thanks. I saw the 100W continuous duty rating for the MTR. I guess that's the key.
Receiver
Receiver front end is a lot better on MTR also.

XPR= business class, or as Motorola calls it now "operations critical"
MTR=public safety infrastructure grade or "Mission critical"
The MTR is a full power station, better specs. It costs more for a reason.

OK, now I see. The MTR is the 'Cadillac'
Thanks for the replies!

XPR 8400 - To be cancelled soon
SLR 5700 will replace the XPR. SLR 5700 is NOT two mobiles in a box, but a true mid power purpose built repeater.
MTR 3000 to be cancelled and replaced with the SLR 8000 100 watt repeater.
