For private talkgroups and private 1 to 1 calling, individual radios only know each other by their 11 digit Private ID. In the DTRs and DLRs, this is ID loaded by Motorola at the factory and is not changeable by the end user or with the CPS.

The MOTOTALK platform is an ID-based system and each phone or DTR/DLR radio has its own unique 11-digit Private ID, sort of like an Electronic Serial Number (ESN). The one gotcha with old NEXTEL phones is they need to have a SIM card in them that was previously activated on an iDEN network to activate the DirectTalk feature. I know that because the legacy DTRs use the same battery and I recently re-batteried my DTR650 fleet. Factory fresh new batteries are still available for them. There are several videos on YT demoing their use. Radiotronics will not, under any circumstances, refund the "download and administration fee".Old retired NEXTEL phones with the off-network DirectTalk feature can be found very cheaply on eBay. Any software Radiotronics provides will remain the property of the manufacturer and, whilst you are free to use it to configure your radio or device, you will NOT own the software. The "download and administration fee" can range from $0 to $250 and is directly proportional to the size of the files and the number of files available for download. Any fee you pay to us in the process of obtaining software should be regarded as a "download and administration fee", which simply covers the cost of data file storage and the bandwidth used when downloading the software. Software provided by Radiotronics is supplied free of charge. Software Ownership & Download Disclaimerįor convenience, we offer software for download instead of physical CD delivery. The obsolete operating systems can usually be legally obtained from WinWorld. You can usually run obsolete operating systems inside virtualization software such as VirtualBox virtualization software. DOS, Windows 3.1x, Windows 95/98, or Windows XP for example. Some programming software may require an obsolete operating system such as M.S. Please do not contact us asking for help programming your radio. If you choose to program your own radio, we urge that you allow plenty of time to self-learn about your radio and the programming process - it's not always straightforward. Unfortunately, we do not offer technical support for self-programming two-way radios.
