radio KM4BA VHF UHF DMR

VHF/UHF DMR

DMR has largely been replacing traditional FM for repeater operation in our area. The technology allows 2 qso's to take place using TDMA in the same frequency allocation that used to host one. I'm now very involved in DMR and it's my primary radio ops in my daily driving lately.

 The Anytone D578Pro is probably the most capable amateur focused DMR radio on the market. It has quickly become the dominant mobile for hams and I use them in my main vehicles.

TYT MD-380 UHF DMR Handheld

 

This UHF Handheld is one of the best values in ham radio. Can often be found in the $70-80 range new, and I've bought used for under $50. It is well made, quite rugged, with some tweaking is a very capable radio still. 

Out of the box the menu is pretty basic, but there are some improved firmware options that provide much improved capabilities including additional detail on the screen, use of the entire DMR ID database, etc.
