The major difference is that while analog programming is essentially a single, flat-file database, DMR is a distributed data base.

When I first got into DMR it was simply because at that time there were ~38 DMR repeaters in the state of Indiana all linked to a single "Hoosier DMR" network. There was only one Fusion repeater that was out of range for me, two P25 II repeaters; one in Valparaiso, IN and the other in Chicagoland.

The major difference is that with a cordless phone you have to know someone's phone number, otherwise just dial randomly and hope whoever answers wants to have a conversation... ...on the other hand, with any form of ham radio contacts, you can be assured that whoever answers a "CQ" actually...

I would surmise the fact that the quack doctor never resurrected himself might have put a bit of suggestion that he was a quack! I've visited the Koreshan State Park many times while visiting my parents on South Estero Island (Ft. Myers Beach).

My landlord has an extensive long and short barrel weapons in his armory/shelter. I am welcome to use any of them in a SHFT situation. He also has 30,000 rounds of 7.62mm NATO on hand. That's more than enough to handle the zombie and/or cannibal hordes! :ROFLMAO:

I read last week that one fellow set up an experiment to prove that the earth is indeed flat. His experiment actually proved just the opposite! Flat-Earther Films Himself Accidentally Proving The Planet Is Round

Why the focus on the two coasts? A single large enough EMP could be launched from a freighter in the Gulf of Mexico that would effectively affect the entire US and most of Canada!

Surely one could wind a replacement ignition coil! Lord knows I've wound my share of transformers, un-uns, etc. :ROFLMAO:

As bookends to your movie recommendations, I suggest an excellent 3-volume novel by William R. Forstchen. It tells the tale of one small North Carolina town after a massive EMP attack by a foreign power. This is so realistic that it actually spawned several weeks of nightmares! :eek: 1...

Best of luck on your tests. I took both Tech and General at the same session myself. I kind of wish now I'd gone ahead and tried to pass the Extra as well!

Would it be considered "cheating" to claim POTA since I actually live in the Hot Springs National Park (Arkansas)? :ROFLMAO:

Mine is mounted on a flexible stalk that uses the left front passenger seat's mounting bolt. I frequently get questions from folks on why I have an MDC in my car. :cool:

Well in my weak defense, I am still not yet re-assembled after my decamping of NWI and move to Hot Springs, Arkansas... :ROFLMAO:

I also have the "BFD", the 7" color touch screen. That makes operating the radio so much easier, especially with the memory arrangement by custom location and repeaters desired.

I have two CS800 (UHF) as well as a CS800D (which has never been taken of the box)... :ROFLMAO:

I'm with you on that issue. For some reason, touch screens and my body chemistry just don't get along. :unsure:

A few days ago I overheard an FBI agent call Garland County (Arkansas) Dispatch to report an erratic driver had forced him off the road into a ditch while passing his vehicle at high speed. Dispatch: Will you need a tow truck? Agent: Yes, but more immediately, my on-board surveillance equipment...

Yes, I read the "clarification" that the ARRL obtained from the FCC. Good news then! :cool:

Ah, good to know then. Will Kenwood still be around by December 2259 though? :unsure:

Well, there goes my hope for a "free" Extra license... :eek:
