Shown below is the numbering system for XPR6500 series radios. So, before you buy your radio make sure you make yourself familiar with the Motorola’s model numbering system. I ended up selling the radio on eBay and using the money to buy the right radio. Not great, since amateur repeaters are down around 440MHz. ![]() The radio I purchased was configured for 450-512MHz. But there’s a catch, there’s more than one flavor of UHF. The one I bought was UHF, which should be fine since the repeaters I want to talk to are UHF. Some are VHF, some are UHF, and some are 900MHz. There are many different XPR6550s out there. Out of the blue, I found one at a garage sale, for far below market value and scooped it up. I had been using a club XPR6550 and decided to look for one. But having moved downstate recently, I decided I wanted to stay involved in DMR, and needed to purchase my own hardware. For a long time I just used club equipment. Some years ago my club (W8YY) joined DMR MARC as the first node in Michigan’s UP.
