I saw that someone said we needed some more traffic in this echo, so I thought I would help with this question...
Have you started or made a total switch to digital yet? And if so,
which one and what was the main reason for that particular one?
I have started my switch. I have a new Yeasu FT2DR which uses C4FM digital. I also have an Icom ID-31 that is a UHF D-Star hand held. I
plan to get a DMR radio to kind of round it out, and from there make a determination which one is the best for me.
Locally we have a lot of Hams with DMR radio. It seems that is the main one most people here are using. What about you guys?

Hey Rich,

I just passed the first exam and should be getting my Callsign sometime this week. I also purchased the FT2DR and have been looking forward to playing with it and seeing how it works.

I am located in Ft Worth Texas and we seem to have quite a mix of repeaters. I'm looking at the iCom 7100 to venture off in the D*Star
world and see what is going on in that direction.
Thanks for thowing this out there.
