First off, let me say that I am not nearly as active on amateur radio as I once was. That having been said, I am trying to rekindle my interest in amateur radio lately. I have a Motorola APX7000, however the one APCO P25 repeater that I have used in the past decided over a year ago to switch their Quantar to analog only. So, I will probably sell my Motorola APX7000.
I did buy a Connect Systems CS750. I like DMR. I seems to be a very popular mode in my area.
I also have a Yaesu System Fusion FT1XDR. It reminds me of APCO P25.
I have never used an Icom D-Star radio. The prices seem a bit higher for Icom radios. I have heard some folks say that some repeater owners are switching from Icom D-Star to either DMR or YSF. I suspect that varies depending on where you live. Is there any evidence to suggest that there is a national trend to move from one digital mode to another?
