Andre Vanier VE3SP - A DMR Presentation 2015

Recently I was tasked to offer a subjective comments about digital and the relation Digital Mobile Radio (DMR) aka MotoTrbo as it compares. An overview of DMR and how it’s being adopted by hams all over the world, including a live demonstration of world wide communications using DMR.

The presentation discussed the popularity of digital and the choices to select from ; ICOM-DStar, DMR(many), Yaesu Fusion C4FM, Kenwood/Icom NXDN NexEdge, APCO P25 to name but a few. Digital are not compatible with other digitals. Different digital company do not connects/talks together.

The lasting comments to the subject we had as a group.

The decision we may have to make when considering v/uhf digital is the availability of repeater(s) for that digital.
