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
Anti scanner radios LOL. I've heard of them referred to that before.
How interoperable are they? Not very. The legacy DTR410/550/650 models, DTR1020/1060 models, DTR600/700 models and the new Curve series model will all work with each other. They will not work with any other radios. I'm not aware of anyone having reverse engineered the DTR/DLR protocol and designed and built a non-Motorola radio that works with these radios.
What do you mean by "another personal radio"? If it's another DTR or DLR radio then yes, PROVIDED that it is programmed to the same frequency hopset and talkgroup ID, and 4 same digit PIN if using the PIN feature on Profile ID mode channels. If at the factory default settings, then yes and easily done. If the other radios have been custom programmed away from the factory defaults then NO.
If you are thinking of getting a used or new DTR or DLR radio, you can't get just one! Get a second one to be able to use them for your own comms with friends and family and really put the radios to the test.
