1 DIGITAL MOBILE RADIO THE VERY BASICS

2 The DMR Difference History Audio Quality Spectrum Efficiency The Local and Worldwide Network Repeater vs. Hotspot Code Plugs DMR today in our area

3 Brief History DMR developed in Europe by ETSI European Telecomm Standards Inst Adopted as Commercial Standard 20 years ago Commercial Business Equipment Proprietary Equipment and Software High Cost Not ham radio friendly Ham Radio Equipment (2 years ago) Field Programmable Ham Friendly

4 Ham Friendly TYT MD-380 Motorola xpr7550 Single Band Single Band < $100 vs $500-$700 Anytone D868 Ailunce HD1 TID TD-9800 Dual Band Dual Band Single Band Features & Audio

5 Audio Quality Digital vs Analog TDMA

6 Spectrum Efficiency Analog FM = 25 khz DMR (TDMA) = 12.5 khz Tier I European License Free Band (not ham) Tier II TDMA Commercial & Ham Standard
