I found a great deal for 2 DTR650's, charger, batteries and antennas for under $200 and jumped on it. I've been eyeing this series for some time. I have been reading about the setup and operation of these, both on here and in the manual, and I wanted to make sure I have a few things straight.
I know they are FHSS in the 900 ISM band, and that there are public and private groups, as well as contacts. Having used DMR, I get the contacts, as well as private call. What I'm wondering is, a group is equivalent to a simplex channel, and the "channel" selection just changes the hop sequence for that group? So public group 1 with a "channel" of 1 would not hear public 1 with a sequence of 2, correct?
And a private group is only accessible to radios with that group programmed?
Looks like the CPS is still easy to find, even though Moto discontinued these several months ago. OEM batteries are also cheap., as well as the serial cable.
Anything else I should know? Reading reviews, as well as topics here, it seems these are great for urban environments. I like the ability of having a more secure system, and being less prone to jamming.
