How to use the MOTOTRBO XPR 7550
XPR-6550 vs. XPR-7550
The stock antenna covers 380-512mhz and is quite long. A better antenna
is the 440-490mhz model which is just shy of 4" long and has better
gain. This is the one I use.
There currently is no way to connect an external antenna to this radio. The RF port, located at top rear under a plastic cover, was designed for test purposes only and will not tolerate the stresses of an external cable. The /\/\ adapter for the RF test port cost around $300 and is made up of two parts.
I think the biggest and most obvious differences is the 7 has a bigger display and full color, has more channels ( a lot more but probably way more than you'll ever need on the ham band) , higher capacity batteries, it meets more military specifications, the radio itself is bigger and looks more like a real radio in my opinion and it has some other features you probably wont ever use like enhanced privacy.

+Better battery life - almost 2X

Here are some of the features of the 6550 & 7550 radios. Both are analog and digital mode, the 7550 comes standard with the LTR trunking board pre-installed but extra for activation, and in the CPS you can set a password for some programming on the go such as : edit ch name, zone name (but NOT a freq entry). An LTR option board can be installed in the 6550 for around $135 extra when purchased new only from Moto, and later can be used in other 6550's as well. There is a voice channel announcement feature on the 7550 when working I will show how it works in another video. As of Oct 2016, I no longer have these radios. Going to take a break and try a APX-8000 (non DMR) and go back and try a CS-700 or SL-7550 (much slimmer).

Motorola has 1w RSM's made specifically for the 6000/7000 family now. NNTN8382 and NNTN8383.
I use the 8382 at work on my 7550 and love it. Sure it's not an APX RSM but it sounds great.
