I need to talk to: all radios, a subset (store registers) and be able to radio individuals (one-to-one). -W PS I tried searching the forums but the software won't let me search for DTR550 or just DTR, says the phrases are too short, but I wanted to find all posts on the DTR radios. I posted a good review on the DTR series on this forum. As for the software, my review is a bit dated. Motorola has now rewritten the software for all DTR-series radios, and it is free: You will need a special programming cable though.
You also have several other alternatives. #1 - You can buy the mini-keyboard and use that to change the name of the default names to something more understandable. (You can also use it to send and/or program some text messages, but I have never used that capability.) #2 - You can program the radios manually to do everything you listed as needing. The only difference is that the radios and groups will be listed by number (public group1, public group2, radio 123456789, etc.) Based on what you stated, any of the three models will do what you need them to do. The new 410 software is similar to the 650 software, with the 'management functions.'
