Hi Mike, That's what I've heard as well. What I have briefly learnt about the RD982 platform is that it has been carefully designed after learning from other vendors mistakes and LEARNING from them. The quality is such that one could re-badge the radio as a new generation Motorola and get away with it. I know for a fact that Motorola are very concerned about HYT.
The RD982 platform has been loosely based on the Australian Spectra Engineering MX900 series of repeaters, which ironically is rebadged and sold to MOTOROLA as the MXD1500 series of base station. This infrastructure is well respected in the professional industry. See: http://www.spectraeng.com.au/mx800.shtml Mike, did you get my private message earlier? Cheers Gareth Bennett RadioSystems P.O.

Motorola is not doing there text features to the DMR standard and Hytera is.

The only feature that is not compatible with the XPR radios is the text messaging between a Motorola and Hytera but all other functions work just fine. Also the screen is very nice to look at since its 3x the size of the XPR radio.

Certainly the gear looks good on paper and in real life, but interested in feedback on anybody that has had a chance of really giving it a workout. Cheers Gareth Bennett RadioSystems P.O.
