Hi guys, I being looking for this but every post I found online is OLD so I dont how things are going now in year 2020. I have my DMR radio and hotspot up and running and now I am like, "should I get a Dstar radio?" The main reason of my question is because I see a lot of cross bands conversations in forums (I have never tried) and I wonder why spend that money on a Dstar radio if I can cross band and get to the Dstar folks too (if that is how it works, I'm unsure). for what I being reading online about the DSTAR vs DMR fight everything boils down to "what repeaters you have close by" and in my case I have both, Dstar and DMR that I can hit and with the hotspot I can even go to fusion and others so I dont know if it worth the expense. I know some folks may say "too many radios are never too many radios" but I prefer to spend that money in other ham gear that I need.
I appreciate any advice
