[QUOTE="Andrew Broughton, post: 130740, member: 318"] Re: 2 way radio suggestions So I found a decent deal on 4 DTR radios on eBay. 1 650 and 3 550s. I received them yesterday, and I fear they may be the "older" ones without the removable antenna. They all have the stubby antennas. (Probably why they were cheap). They seem to work ok, programming is a little painful, so I'm looking to get the programming cable so I can program them more easily. My fear is that because they are older, I'm reading that they might not work with the CPS software. I really hope that is not the case. One thing that's really annoying me is the "ok to talk" alert being so loud. It looks like it raises and lowers with the volume of the radio, and doesn't have it's own volume control. That's probably going to be a deal-breaker as it's much louder than the received audio. [/QUOTE]
