License-Free 900 MHz Digital Communications
The DTR700 operates in the license-free 900 MHz ISM band using digital Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum technology. For organizations that want an on-site business radio system without conventional frequency coordination and radio licensing, the DTR700 provides a straightforward digital communications platform.
A configurable four-digit Radio Profile ID can help separate a radio fleet from nearby DTR users. Up to 10,000 Profile ID values are available. Proper programming is important when deploying multiple departments or integrating DTR700 radios with an existing DTR fleet.
Private, Group and Team Calling
The DTR700 supports multiple calling modes to match different workflows.
- Digital One-to-One Private Calling: Communicate directly with a specific radio user.
- Digital One-to-Many Group Calling: Communicate with radios assigned to the same compatible group configuration.
- Private Groups: Configure selected radio IDs so only members of the designated group participate in the conversation.
- Public Groups: Allow appropriately configured radios on the same channel and hopset to participate in group communications.
- Private Reply: Allows a user to initiate a private response to another radio after group traffic when properly configured.
Coverage for On-Site Business Operations
Motorola specifies coverage of up to 350,000 square feet or 30 floors indoors with the standard whip antenna. Actual communication range depends on building construction, terrain, environmental conditions, radio placement and other RF conditions, so quoted coverage should be treated as a maximum reference rather than a guaranteed operating range.
Rugged, Compact Design
The Motorola DTR700 measures approximately 5.06 in. H × 2.2 in. W × 1.06 in. D and weighs approximately 7.87 oz. (223 g). The radio is IP54 rated and has been tested against applicable methods from MIL-STD-810 C, D, E, F and G covering conditions such as shock, vibration, temperature, humidity, rain and dust.
Color Display and Easy Navigation
A full-graphic, backlit color display provides a clear interface for contacts, channels and radio functions. Adjustable brightness and limited-keypad navigation make frequently used features easy to access without the complexity of a full-keypad professional radio.
