_**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
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...

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!

Most of us in the ham radio community understand authentication and secure access. We verify callsigns, protect repeater systems, and double-check everything before transmitting.
Online security works the same way — and a YubiKey gives you a physical, almost unbreakable way to secure your digital identity.
Even if it’s not directly ham-radio
