Digital repeater activity in your area

[ArtU]

Very similar to going to a ham fest decades ago and over 95% of the tables had ham gear, then each year computer vendors started taking over more and more of the spaces that had ham gear.

But today that is the reveser, the computer tables at ham fests have low end stuff for sale and they are in very low numbers. Internet and local White Box pC stores have made PC sales not profitable at flee markets.

"Yes, please, buy your own hotspot. Then, take down the DV repeaters because they will become superfluous when everybody has their own hotspot"

That's why I wish the hotspots could be setup and used and remote receivers for repeaters. It to me seems like a better use, as then they become useful to more than one person, just like the main repeater.

In So Cal there are a lot of DMR repeaters available, some D-STAR, some P25 and a couple of Fusion. I operate four P25 repeaters and one Fusion but the digital modes are not getting much use these days.

Here in Deep south Texas (RGV) Rio Grand Valley we have 6 DMR repeaters and one Fusion repeater which I own and a Dstar repeater in McAllen Tx, but really not to many Hams use them O well.........
