Motorola XPR VHF/UHF Mobile Radios Excellent Choices for Amateur Radio DMR The MOTOROLA MOTOTRBO XPR 4000 and 5000 series mobile radios are very solid reliable commercial-grade pieces of equipment. They are extremely suitable for conversion to amateur radio Digital Mobile Radio (DMR) use which is the fastest growing VHF/UHF digital mode on the ham radio bands today.
1000 channels is certainly sufficient to meet the needs of any amateur but each repeater will have five or more 'talk groups' each requiring a channel. The radios must be programmed using special Customer Programming Software (CPS) and a cable that can be purchased here on eBay or easily constructed using a USB cable. Pre-existing 'codeplug' files can be cloned to the radio which avoids having to write each one from scratch. The downside is that the radio cannot be programmed 'on the fly'. Anot her disadvantage to some is that the radios are either VHF or UHF but a dual band version does not exist. Most of the world uses UHF dor,DMR except Southern New England and Central California.
