DR mode allows you to have a set of sources that can be used with destinations. The source being the DR mode repeaters and the destinations being Your Call Sign memory bank. The normal memory bank has both source and destination in it. But then again, you can still switch destinations in the memory bank.
But you're right the utilization of the DR more, at least from my viewpoint is dubious.

I was showing a friend about it the other day and he brought up a very interesting question. So in DR Mode you can program the repeater and all the information that is needed to work that repeater and store it in the repeater list. So he ask how is that any differant then just putting that repeater and all the information needed into a regular memory and access it in Memory Mode. Once he ask me that question I realized that if it's in the repeater list in DR Mode or in a regular memory it's seem the same. So what does DR Mode really do??
