As posted above, are LTE/DMR radios the future of VHF/UHF amateur radios? I am aware that RFinder has several, including the H1B-UD, M1 DV/U, K1 and the recently announced E81.
I read recently that Boxchip announced the S900A, which is a DMR & 4G LTE multimode radio.
On the commercial, land-mobile side of the house, we have the Hytera PDC760, which is an LTE/DMR multimode radio.
Many of us are also using amateur radio digital hot-spots.
Is the future a quadband, 2 meter, 222 Mhz, 70 CM and 1.2 GHz transceiver that will do APCO P25, NXDN, Icom D-Star, Yaesu System Fusion and DMR? You could log in to the radio, insert your cellular SIM card and talk via amateur radio frequencies or through the cellular connected talk-groups, etc. I think we may have an interesting, and perhaps expensive, future in amateur radio!
