Hey Rich,

RL> Have you started or made a total switch to digital yet? And if so, which
RL> one and what was the main reason for that particular one?

RL> I have started my switch. I have a new Yeasu FT2DR which uses C4FM
RL> digital. I also have an Icom ID-31 that is a UHF D-Star hand held. I
RL> plan to get a DMR radio to kind of round it out, and from there make a
RL> determination which one is the best for me.

I just passed the first exam and should be getting my Callsign sometime this
week.  I also purchased the FT2DR and have been looking forward to playing with
it and seeing how it works.

RL> Locally we have a lot of Hams with DMR radio. It seems that is the main
RL> one most people here are using. What about you guys?

I am located in Ft Worth Texas and we seem to have quite a mix of repeaters.
I'm looking at the iCom 7100 to venture off in the D*Star world and see what is
going on in that direction.

Thanks for thowing this out there.
