DMR

Just kind of throwing this out there:

Anyone actively monitoring DMR in Delaware?

I'd like to experiment with it, having a SDS100 with no current DMR upgrade and a Unication G5 UHF with DMR capabilities. If need be, I figured it would be cheaper to upgrade the SDS for DMR than spend $350 for the newer BCD260DN radio. Checking license info with Digital Frequency Search, there seems to a lot of listings.

Feel free to share your experiences.

Thanks,

There are a few ID'ed conventional stations in your county (noteably Amazon). I've spun the dial and caught some un-ID'ed stations as well but am rarely ever in DE long enough to confirm IDs for hits, some in DE, some not. A few ID'ed trunked systems as well. You shouldn't have a problem finding DMR stations to listen to be it in DE or elsewhere. I never leave home without at least one DMR capable receiver

Hello,

There are a few DMR users that can be monitored in the State, Amazon as mentioned, School Districts (Appoquinimink), and CON+ or CAP+ Systems not local to State. Most CON+ or CAP+ Systems local to State are Encrypted (U of DE, Christiana Healthcare Services, Artesian Water). There are a few NXDN Systems to monitor as well if interested.

Thanks to all that replied.

Are NXDN systems employing wide spread encryption as well?

Hello,

Not the users on the systems monitored local to Delaware. There are occasional iCalls as well.

Pro tip: Have a look at the "Mode" column in any given table in the database be it conventional or trunked. Any time you see an uppercase "E" as a suffix this indicates full encryption (as in "DE, "TE", P25E, DMRE or NXDNE). a lowercase "e" would denote partial encryption (as in "De, "TEe", P25e, DMRe or NXDNe)

What DMR hand helds do you use/own?
I'm looking into getting one.

My 436, 536HP & SDS100 have the upgrade. I also use an Anytone AT878UV for DMR conventional stuff and an assortment of SDRs
