Yes. Direct Talk was 900 MHz Digital FHSS.
Thank you.Yes. Direct Talk was 900 MHz Digital FHSS.
Great information all! Thank you!
The reason I asked is because I am looking for the most inexpensive way for a property management team to connect on site. I can get 2 Motorola i335's for $45. About as much as cheap bubble pack frs but this is digital and would work quite well I think! $90 for 4. I like it.
One more question please.
Was the Direct Talk feature of Nextel 900 mhz frequency hopping and digital? I just want to be clear that I am asking about Direct Talk and not Direct Connect.
That's my understanding. I have a small fleet of old iDEN handsets and have been exploring exactly what they will and won't do with Direct Talk in these post-Nextel network days.
My hypothesis is that when you put them into Direct Talk mode (and you're right to be clear about terminology, as there are THREE different transmission modes one might use by pressing the PTT button on one of these), they stop using the SMR baseband and become Direct Talk-only devices for a while. Am going to empirically determine this with some test equipment at some point.
I have read posts to the effect that while the same people implemented this functionality as that in the Motorola FHSS handhelds, that they're not intereoperable with Direct Talk on the old NEXTEL phones. That's something I'd like to confirm for myself. I think the chip rates are similar.
Note that an iDEN handset will not enter DT mode without a SIM card that was previously activated with a phone number on an iDEN network.
@n1das Where does one purchase these radios at?
It is not impossible to monitor a four pin DLR radio from Target or Walmart. Most likely they will use them right out of the box with the default "0000". But if not then patients will pay off if you just go through the four pin combinations in order until you get the right one for that user. Yes it may take time but then once you have the four pin, you are set. I am considering purchasing DLR 1060. It has up to six channels that may be used. I wonder if each channel can use a different four pin profile? I am asking this because if I find the four pin for Target, lets say, then I would put them in Channel one. And if I found the four pin to Walmart, I could put them on channel 2. Probably only one pin can be set at one time so I would have to switch pins as needed. Still I would hate to have to purchase a DLR radio just to listen to store chatter, but I hate being left out! Lol
Exactly what I’m thinking, I have no need for a radio of such standards and I would only be listening to a churches radios a few times a month, but the possibility of radio signals not being heard makes me curiousIt is not impossible to monitor a four pin DLR radio from Target or Walmart.

Hi, I’ve been reading over all these posts about DTRs and frequency hopping radio, so let’s presume that I had a radio capable of frequency hopping, How interoperable are they? If I was to be able to play around with a radio such as a DTR650 could I find the right info to program it into another personal radio? Thanks for any help understanding these anti scanner radios
Given employees loose them or they get taken by employees won't take long before cats out the bag on it. Most are using default box settings atm.The plan to switch for Sam's Club and Walmart to a similar system was also announced several months ago. The only way to monitor is by having a radio set up with the same parameters as the radios in the store. Your chances of guessing that setup are less than winning the lottery.
