Without internet the DMR repeater will only have local pretty much the same as any repeater except it will be digital voice it kind of lacks bandwidth. Digital is either all or nothing with analog you actually can have a poor signal and still pick out a conversation. The protocall is a lot different because you are tying up many repeaters so know what you are doing before having a rag chew on world wide, north america etc. Many people use dongles and a hand held link into their home internet to communicate right now that seems to be the majority, I find DMR repeaters to be quite quiet. I like the concept and wish it was more utilized because it can give you extremely wide coverage. Our club has a DMR repeater and a VHF echolink I can honestly say the echoling is more active.
