bmw222000 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Just a thought seeing as there's a radio section maybe there should be a scanner section? There's a lot going on at the minute with dmr etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jester Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 That has melted my head m8. Fusion, DMR and D star. Where do you start???? I really am coming out of mothballs after 15+ years of not being involved in radio and the changes are unreal. I sorta thought, right, spend an hour on each of the different systems and just skim over the details on how they work. Then have a look and see who is using what and which one is rising above the rest. Then decide which one to use. It looks like a case of Betamax, Video2000 and VHS all over again lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmw222000 Posted January 12, 2016 Author Share Posted January 12, 2016 Lol I know what you mean mate I haven't even touched the surface but there are a lot of good Facebook groups which have some class info! You can decode digital using a tap on your scanner and linking it up with your computer and dsd software! I've got a md380 handheld and with the help of a mate on Facebook it can also decode digital voice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suke Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Well you've both lost me. Whats Fusion, whats DMR and whats D Star. Its got to be 20 odd years since i last operated a station, i think if i remember right, a Trio TS430 with all the gear to go with that. I still have a 2metre rig, Kenwood TH 25E but i guess the batteries shot it, and a scanner AOR AR1000, but again its not been switched on in years. Am i missing anything on the airwaves th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sh4ckles Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Would it also not be a good idea to have the forum in the VIP section for obvious reasons? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sh4ckles Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I've still got my Uniden Bearcat somewhere, never did get the additional digital card for it. Good for trunk tracking though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rigout Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Is it possible to listen to Tetra and Digital mobile phone signals like you could back in the day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
