Going digital with DMR

Hytera_MD785GAfter D-star there is DMR. Not that I’ve used D-star much but just want to give new techniques a try. Yesterday I’ve ordered a Hytera MD785G. This is a mobile UHF-transceiver for both analogue FM and DMR. Ideal as a second set for the local repeaters since the 2nd VFO of my Icom IC-9100 is RX-only.

The MD785G has 25 Watts of output which should be more than enough to work repeaters in a 20 mile radius. The nearest (temporarily) repeater is only 500 meters from my home, the first production repeater about 15 miles.
