In this video, I'm looking at the Motorola DP4400e UHF walkie-talkie and the Motorola TLK 100 LTE cellular walkie-talkie. I'm discussing the two technologies used by these radios and why both have enormous and unique strengths. I discuss range, coverage, audio quality, cost and more.

Great video i have a question i can't seem to find information on so maybe u can help me please can the xt400 Series un license radio be used with the r2/r7 License radio?

[@charlesloukas1946]

Why not use 2 16 channel PMR for duplex ?

[@jackiegriffin4408]

So what is the range for push to talk without the cellular networks ?

[@Timcyprian]

Great insight there, as much as poc relies on mobile SIM to establish connection. Will it use/require regular recharge/subscription like standard mobile phones?

[@tdcattech]

It’s not quite the same as it’s cross network but yes, it requires an annual subscription to use PoC.

[@Timcyprian]

@@tdcattech thanks for the reply, so in this case the best bet is to aquire one that supports Wi-Fi

[@GeneLucas2941]

With PTT over Cellular, is it a point to point connection? Or can everyone on the same channel hear what you're saying, i.e., as in a regular PTT?

[@tdcattech]

With PTToC, your data is being carried over the cellular network similarly to a normal phone contract. It is linked only to your fleet of radios and the channels and groups you choose to setup on that fleet. In summary, no, no-one else can hear you.

[@foddy0]

What about latency? Can you have an interactive conversation with PTToC?

[@tdcattech]

💯 Completely. Latency is about the same as DMR. So there's a small delay when you press the PTT button and it establishes a connection with the other radio. Then you hear a talk-permit tone and you're good to talk. This all happens in under half a second. It's basically just like using a normal walkie-talkie in that regard.

[@Keksstar]

@@tdcattech a lot of the cheap PoC radios use Zello which I personally find way to slow.... so what´s the best alternative to this in your perspective?

[@jmmorgenstern7005]

One of the things that is not since next hell went belly up or got poured out or whatever is the capability.
To actually have a regular GMRS or FRS radio in your phone and have a cellular network in your phone.
That's one of the things that is absolutely missing since next tell went bingo. We need to have the capability to be able to if you're on a forest area or you're in an area with there's. No cell phone coverage the old next tell would have worked however push to talk over cellular today wouldn't work.
Why because a feature cold direct talk which was built into most next? Telephones that came? Out. Later on.
So direct talk combined a regular GMRS or FRS rather radio into every single next telephone.
What's means you had not only a cell phone radio? You had a regular old fashioned walky talkie built-in that's what's missing today.
Permission critical stuff.
Bring back the old next. Tell bring back the old next tell.
Network and make sure you can get combined it into the newer networks that are running.
Today that will be the biggest blessing ever.
For everybody.
Then mission-critical stuff can not only rely on it but can rely on it big time.
And don't forget to also have an FRS radio winner or GMRS radio in there.
Of course depending on what type of device you get would indicate to whether it has FRS or GMRS and would tell you whether or not. You need a light sense. I will tell you whether or not. You need a license for the GMRS or not anyway bottom line is. We have to bring back the old next tell.
That's the bottom line.
A mission criticals stuff the old next. I was perfect you know that a 911.
The funding radio? Or phone that worked here was mainly Nextel? Why? Because they had a system that was set up correctly and was set up so 911 mainly next tell.
F***** but not the phone to walk he talkie. So in such a situation who will I trust next tell because next tell the old next tell?
Always comes out ahead of the game so even today's days we have push the dog Uber soiler even event where all hell breaks loose and everything goes to. The dogs next tell the old next tell wood come out ahead however today push-up a soil would not.
Cut it for mission-critical.
Such as September 11th 2001? Again Boost Mobile is what I had which is next to prepaid back then.
So I. Can talk about? It.
Big time so tell me about phones that working critical missions. The old next tell would do a better job than today's p.
Push to talk over cellular rather to say it info.
