Where do people use DMR/D-Star/etc for ham radio? All I ever hear are AM, FM and SSB for voice.

- madengr 6y agoEverywhere. There is a big DMR network here in Kansas City, and Fusion too. http://c5.byrg.net/WP_BYRG_WWW/byrg-repeaters/ http://c5.byrg.net/WP_BYRG_WWW/byrg-repeaters/ http://www.kansascityroom.com/Repeaters/ http://www.kansascityroom.com/Repeaters/
- gh02t 6y agoOn VHF and UHF. Depends on area, but there are at least as many digital repeaters as analog on VHF/UHF where I live and hotspots are also popular.
- jcims 6y agoInteresting! I had no idea, they are all NFM around here.
- gh02t 6y agoHotspots really help with that. Even if there are no repeaters near you a cheap hotspot will let you hop on digital and talk to people all around the world with minimal fuss. People complain that it's not "real" amateur radio, but if you just want to talk it's very accessible.
