- XPR6550 vs XPR7550 Comparison.
In this video I compare the Motorola MotoTRBO XPR6550 (DP3600 in Europe) to the XPR7550 (DP4800 in Europe) and discuss whether it is still worth buying the XPR6550 now that it's an old radio.
The XPR6550 or DP3600 is a generation 1 radio which Motorola has now discontinued. The direct replacement for this is the XPR7550 or DP4800 which is a similar radio in the generation 2 MotoTRBO series, but there are some differences which I discuss in the video.

Love your videos! Always extremely informative and well-presented!
Thanks so much
Love your videos! Always extremely informative and well-presented! I have both of these radios and I like them both equally for different reasons. The build qualit9y is excellent on both.
Just about to get my hands on a couple of these units, I can't wait!!!
I love these vids because he gets right into the point. Btw, there's a vid about connecting a Zello radio (your phone with the app Zello) to a handheld radio. :D
Hi, I made a video comparison on the exact same two 6550/7550 radios as well, you did fill in some good points I forgot to mention, but. nice video
Thanks. Yeah I saw your video actually quite a few years ago and found it useful
On the DP3600 what is the tone that plays immediately as it receives from the DP4800? I have the American version XPR6500 and can not find it in the CPS, I have the channel free indication tone enabled and no they they're not the same thing as one tells you when someone is talking and one tells you when the channel is free. Thanks!
The call receive tone. Go into the CPS contacts section and for each group there is a checkbox to enable or disable it.
love this video
Thanks
+radiosification no problem i hope you get a lot of subscribers and a lot of views and a lot of likes
Is the DP3600 dual band, VHF and UHF? And is it analog as well as Digital? Looking for a DMR scanner at the moment and can get these quite cheap now...
No it is only single band. There are currently no proper dual band DMR radios on the market, although soon there will be some coming out. The dual band DMR radios currently on the market are not proper DMR because they don't work for transmitting on repeaters.
The DP3600 works fine for receiving but you need to know all the information first: groups, colour code and slot being used.
Great, thanks for the info. Ive seen your video on the Baofeng DM5R Plus and know that it can't be used on Amateur repeaters, but I may be interested in one for a cheap dual band DMR scanner. Presumably it would do the job, albeit slowly?
As long as you don't want to transmit on repeaters, it will do the job fine. Scanning speed will be slower than a proper scanner, and there is a limited number of channels in the scan list. Usually it is 16, I don't know for the DM-5R but I would guess it's the same. If you want to check you can download the software for free from somewhere online and try it
can this be used also in vhf frequencies? for xpr6550....thanks
What are you talking about? Can what be used?
in dual band i meant....
No these radios are single band radios.
what is the mile range for the XPR7550e
There is no mile range for any radio. As with every radio it varies massively on a large number of factors including terrain, weather, how you hold the radio, objects in the vicinity of the radios.
so if i go 50 miles away from one radio will it still work
No, as I just explained it depends on a large number of factors. If you didn't understand that, find something less complicated to play with because this hobby is obviously too difficult for you.
radiosification haha great answer. They go as far as you can get them to go thats about the jist of that. Fuckin dumb shits cant read a fuckin wikipedia article about rf.
I have two XPR 7550e radios that are programmed and I’d like to FACTORY RESET them so that I can sell them on eBay. Can anyone help please???? Thanks
How much you want for both
Hello,
Do You know is this radio (DP3600) can be used for on site talk-around file transfer?
I'm thinking about this:
smartptt.com/products/smartptt-file-transfer/
It say software is freeware, maybe You could make video about it since have two radios?
Regards
+Electronic Noob Blog I believe you can use them for file transfer but it would be incredibly slow. Much slower than dial up. I'll have a look at that software and see if there is a trial or something
Great, thank You for answering,
I'll be following for possible updates.
Hi, I haven't downloaded the software but from looking at the website, it seems like it will work with a DP3600 fine. I'll put it on my to-do list for videos.
Great, Thank You for update
Like in this song, The Police.... "I'll be watching you"
How is the song relevant?
How much DP3600 cost now?
It really depends. Most of them are second hand so the price can vary a lot. Have a look on some radio forums with for sale sections or on ebay.
engineer.pro over priced in second hand market. for what most go for used you can go direct to a dealer or motorola for same cost.
So the new one goes up to 11
What goes up to 11?
Yeah but what on the radio goes up to 11? I have no idea what he's talking about
My school has both types
Yeah many users of these radios have the older ones and then have some newer ones as they upgrade their fleet gradually or they purchase the newer radios only when new users join the system.
yep my school is slowly upgrading i have a cheep beofang uv 82 and i listen to my school on it
How do you do that? Are they not using DMR? Seems a waste of money to buy radios like this just to use FM
i dont know i know you would think but my school corp is small and only has 4 elamentry schools and 1 jr/hi school and there fequency is 155.265 and 2 of the princabals know i have there fequency on it but i dont know and on raidio refrence it says it is fm and every thing in my county is fm also i have my county ems disbatch and my schools princabals told me at the cross country meat to just leave it at home my school has the following raidioes motorola xpr 6500, bpr 440or mag one and xpr 7550, dm 4600 and xpr 4500 ,gm338 and ht 1250 yes i know that is a lot but we hve a lot of ataff
I couldn't really understand anything you said there. Can you add some full stops in?
