I bought 3 DTR 650s for local communications and I was surprised that all 5 public channels actually have activity. So I decided to buy the programming cable and the free CPS software to program my own channels.
Also why are the DTR650s cheaper than the other models. I was able to buy them for 220 each yet everyone seems to sell the 550s for 250-280
one place using public channel 1 is about half a mile away. it is a school it looks like with about 8 units since I see 8 unique radio ids show up.
Motorola does not seem to advert these much, it seems pointless to spend money messing with licensing an itinerant frequency and all the paperwork when these DTRs seem cheap and work fine.
