REVIEWED BY: Don Trynor, VA3XFT

SUMMARY

The XPR7550 is one latest additions to Motorola’s MOTOTRBO line of Digital Mobile Radio (DMR) TDMA radios, featuring best in class audio, integrated GPS, a multicolour LCD display, plus much more. This is a excellent single band radio for amateur radio use on the 2m and 70cm bands, as it is feature rich, durable and likely to more than satisfy even the most demanding user. At the time of this review, the “ham friendly” pricing for a new XPR7550 from a Motorola dealer was $700US.
