No point re-inventing the wheel for the big M, and also they need to compromise in the marketplace, without upsetting their Motorola Sales/Dealers. HYT will be the ones to watch as their gear is Trbo backwards compatible.

IMHO, adding MotoTrbo options to the Yaesu line would be one “easy, quick and dirty” way to attempt to wrest digital away from Icom/D-STAR. This could get to be very interesting… Mark – N9WYS From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com On Behalf Of John Crockett Eric: Back here in the Southeast there are two UHF MotoTrbo repeaters being coordinated in the Charlotte, NC area. It will be interesting if this digital technology will take off. In SC we have enough D-Star repeaters to cover the state, but the number of users is low. It will take a long time before it is viable as a parallel statewide communications system. Analog FM is still the back bone of our statewide communications system and it will be for years to come. www.scheart. <http://www.scheart.us/> us The question in the back of my mind is. Is MotoTrbo the digital technology that will leap frog D-Star? I guess we can stay tuned for the outcome! John, KC4YI
