APCO25 Anyone ?

[KingCobra_CDX882]

It is Not New..
Been Around For YEARS..

Yes Darn Expensive..
It is Not Adopted much into Ham Radio service.
Mostly Emergency Services..

Government pushed though P25.
While Ham radio moved with DStar..

More Recently Yaesu is using a version of P25 to likely compete with DStar..

Advantage simple...
Ability to use less bandwidth..
Able to use Texting and GPS type of communications as well..

Some like it and Some Don't..
Take it or Leave it.

Either way it is Indeed part of the current and Future.
Given its use of Less Bandwidth.

Yea it is expensive but worth every penny

Government pushed though P25.
While Ham radio moved with DStar..
D-star sucks and that's my opinion.

More Recently Yaesu is using a version of P25 to likely compete with DStar..
Mmhmm

Yup.

True.
Either way it is Indeed part of the current and Future.

Motorola radios

Hi.
Chris in Australia here.
I have a collection of Motorola handheld radios for ham use, including an
XTS3000 & XTS5000. They are awesome radios, very solid.
I enjoy operating on P25 mode & soon will be on DMR (Mototrbo) mode.
Happy to help out with the programming of these radios, but I have not dealt with any firmware upgrades for them.

Cheers, Chris. VK3TYG
