I've been thinking about DMR but I think I will wait until I can get with my son and see how it works. He is using it now and likes it. He also said it can be a little difficult to program. He also suggested I get a TYT 380 since it is not as expensive as other digital radios. We can get it here in the US from Amazon for just a little over $100. I will be traveling to Ohio for Hamvention in May and he lives on the east side of Columbus so I have a campground reserved about 30 miles from his house and will go on Friday. I'm not a fan of D-Star simply because you have to purchase a radio from ICOM, not that ICOM doesn't make a good radio but open forum for DMR looks good to me with a lot more choice of repeaters.
