moving on from YSF to DMR

W8FIK

well I tried YSF on my FT0DR for a while…
I just dont like it
too many dropped messages too hard to listen to
so Im going to try DMR
a friend is loaning me a DMR radio to try and learn on
I know its a whole new learning curve…
but I have no life, no family
and a lot of time
Ill keep you updated

Oh does anyone find it irratating that yaesu only has a handful of radios thaat do fusion and almost all are $400-$800…

YSF can be frustrating. DMR’s definitely a learning curve, but once you get your codeplug dialed in, it opens a lot of doors. Nice that you’ve got time to dive in, keep us posted on how it goes!

so a friend loaned me his Radioddity GD=88
DMR is quite a learning curve
however after a couple days with no sleep i taught myself how to program the radio
and i like it a lot
I still think I need a hotspot…

@W8FIK Nice! DMR can be tricky at first, but sounds like you’re getting the hang of it. A hotspot isn’t required, but it definitely makes things more fun and flexible. Keep going!
