Speaking of yaesu does anyone know about the accessibility of the ft-1dr?
I am somewhat interested in the c4fm repeaters and this looks like a decent
radio if it is accessible.
Currently this radio is 269.95.
The Kenwood th-f6a (which is not digital and is at least 10 year old
technology) is $319.95.

And, therein lies the problem, in my view!
Unless there is some kind of standardization (which doesn't seem likely),
it's going to be hard for hams to decide which way to go when purchasing new
and more up-to-date radios to accommodate the new digital technology.

Yaesu's fusion is actually it's own, not compatible with anything else. It's
based off P25 but not compatible with it so unless you buy the yaesu radios
that will work with their system, you can't get on it.

Thanks, Pat. I was wondering the same thing.
Here in my local area, we are still all analog, although there are some
folks who are starting to play with the digital modes.
For example, our club just bought two of the 2-meter/440 Fusion repeaters
from Yaesu, and I know they have digital capability of some kind. However,
I'm not sure what that capability is. Perhaps DMR?
If anyone knows, please advise.
For now, I'm sticking with analog.

I am playing catch up! Is DMR another scheme in addition to Dstar and the
Yaesu digital offering?
If so, then are there three competing scenarios?
Thanks.
