“Introduction to DMR Radio—New mode for Amateur Radio”
!
!
DMR is a new digital mode for Amateur Communications. It is an open standard, non-proprietary protocol (ETSI TS 102) supported by many radio manufacturers worldwide including Kenwood, Vertex, Harris, Motorola, Connect Systems, Tytera and 10 others. Because of this digital standardization, it has driven the competition and lowered the cost of mobiles and portables!
Key features of DMR include:
●Two simultaneous QSOs on a single channel narrow band repeater
●Low bandwidth 7K60FXE, occupies less than half that of an FM repeater
●Voice + data
●No noise
●No r2d2 (loss of sync)
●Low battery drain
●Automatic roaming
●Local, statewide, regional and worldwide networking choices
●82 DMR repeaters in New England
●23,000+ amateur radio users
