In my area a few frequencies have gone what appears to be DMR, example audio here: Launceston Scanning Guy: Digital Audio on 493.225MHz
I don't own a DMR scanner (yet) but I have still kept these frequencies programmed in on the off chance they switch back for any reason. It has been over 9 months now.
Without knowing the specific model of radios they are using, do DMR radios also support normal FM? In areas where a switch to DMR has been made, has anybody seen them switch back or have any examples of FM being used on the same frequency as DMR?
I often run my scanner in search mode with it logging via my laptop, I have had a couple of examples where on one of the DMR frequencies it has logged CTCSS tones, this makes me think that some FM is still being used?
The reason for these questions is that I am working on updating the programming of my radio and will remove the DMR frequencies if they have little chance of carrying FM traffic.
