[aprssig] OT: Yaesu to release digital amateur radio gear

[Jim Duncan]

I am involved in MotoTrbo and just put a repeater on the air this past
weekend. The Motorola radios all have GPS built in and feature "caller ID"
as well as text-messaging. I termed MotoTrbo to my local club as "APRS on
steroids." There are some people working on aps that will grab the GPS data
sent by the radios and port it over to APRS. The audio quality blows D-Star
out of the water, too!

 

The dispatching software out there (SmartPTT, TrboNet - my fave, et al) do
on-screen mapping and coms very well. It is truly an all-in-one package
system that is ideal for public service events!

 

Take a look at www.dmr-marc.net and www.trbo.net for more information.

Maybe, but Vertex-Standard has a line of DMR (MotoTRBO) compatible radios
that it may be tasking to Amateur, since there's been a recent surge in DMR
interest in the states and Europe. Although an economical P25 radio for the
ham bands would be great.

I am going to go out on a limb and say that Yaesu is trying to introduce a
P25 capable HT to the amateur market.  Very exciting to see this, if that is
the case.  Coming from a Motorola LMR background, I have always felt that
D-Star was a waste of time and money and the effort should have been pushed
down the P25 road.
