Can anyone help my out? I am quite disappointed from what I have found with my new DTR700s so far. I have found that in order to talk on a private group with the DTR700, both sending radio and receiving radio must be on the same private group (actively selected on the radio). My DTR650s will receive if a message is sent to the private group regardless of the currently selected group/channel on the receiving radio. This ability to send to who you want, regardless of the receiver's currently selected "channel" is the best feature of the DTR radios.
Is there any way to get a DTR700 to receive a transmission to a private group (that it is a member of) even if the receiving radio doesn't have the group selected? I understand that this traditional channel based send-receive might be beneficial to some users, but I would hope that it could be turn on or off. This is a huge issue for me and may be a show stopper for upgrading to DTR700s.
