    YSF and DMR final conclusion from an old poor ham

    _**i started with a Yaeso FT70DR
    I wanted to try C4FM and get into all those cool world wide talkgroups
    well that turned into frustration because when you take the repeater, for a while the locals complain...
    Then I thought...hey Tom try DMR that sounds like fun.
    well pretty much the same end result. Its another mode for tal;king to locals on a repeater...
    and if you want to try one of those fun talk groups well you get kicked off after a few minutes, the radio just goes quiet...you have to push the ptt to get back

    Vote System Reset

    Just a heads up — the vote system (thumbs-up) has been reset.

    We ran into some technical issues during a recent upgrade, and unfortunately, we had to wipe the previous vote data to get everything running smoothly again.

    We know this might be a bummer for some of you, especially if your posts had built up a lot of votes. We're working hard to make sure the new setup is more stable moving forward.

    Thanks for sticking with us and for being part of the HamLike community!
