IMPLICATIONS OF AOR ADDING TRUNKING TO THE DV1 - 19/02/21 Firmware Update
AR-DV1 Firmware update v2101C, feature improvements:
- TETRA GSSI user group filtering “PRO” feature. Optional function. To activate this “PRO” feature, please purchase an activation key at: https://www.aordirect.jp/
----------------------------
Interesting the AR-DV1 is capable of TRUNKING, and AOR have reconsidered it. Adding it for TETRA only seems a strange choice, given that so many transmissions are encrypted. An expensive paid for 'add on' under those circumstances, when trunking for other modes would have attracted a lot wider audience.
In the past AOR have seemed to intimate that the DV1 is a General Coverage Receiver, not a Scanner, and as such they would not incorporate any form of Trunking. Well that principle, if that is what is was, is 'blown' with this latest Firmware update, even if it does cost 11000 Yen / £74.
If AOR added trunking for other Modes, P25 and DMR for example, that would be a leap forward for the AR-DV1. We can only hope.
