At about 1:53, it is said that it's possible.. Does this mean that another company could license the C4FM for their own amateur radio and maybe add DMR as well?
There is obviously demand for it, what N9UPC is dancing around is that motorola bought Yaesu's former parent company Vertex Standard. Which made some DMR equipment. And it is at this time obvious that Yaesu would make a DMR radio if the were allowed to. When Vertex Standard was the parent, it was obvious why Yaesu wasn't gonna make a DMR radio. Their parent company made commercial DMR equipment. And when Motorola bough Vertex Standard and its subsidiary Yaesu, it is clear the only way Motorola would let Yaesu continue on as a private company is to make sure they didn't compete in the same markets. It's all corporate politics my friends.
D STAR and other digital mode created by Japanese companies are more for Japanese domestic market, I understand truck driver, ship owner, other commercial use is main stream in amateur radio band there in Japan. so by having own digital standard , they everybody in the group have to buy a radio from same company. DMR will defeat that purpose. and DMR mean cheaper Chinese radio will come in to Japan, which is not beneficial to Japanese radio makers.
Wrong; there's no rule that says a digital radio has to encode your amateur callsign. Just frickin ID!... It's a business/profit decision. Used P25/DMR radios are often cheaper than new ham radios, anyway. As hams, aren't we supposed to figure this stuff out? BTW, "Etsy" stole their name from UNIX /etc.
What makes DMR especially awful are the radios. Cheap ChinaZ0n kr@p - but not cheap in price. $300+ for a buggy AnyTone HT? Gtf outta town. And since D-Star is for geezers that makes Fusion/WiRES-X the cool place to be.

What about M17 as an addition? i.e. C4FM and M17, DMR and M17, DStar and M17? One open-source standard for all HAM radios.
We are excited t see where M17 goes.
Anyway to use the hotspot to convert DMR to YSF and back on the 991?
I subbed just becuase of your channel name...😂
Thanks!
Who exactly makes a multimode digital transceiver?
Nobody that I am aware of...
@@CoffeeandHamRadios The Alinco DJ-X100 looks like an interesting multimode digital receiver.

Nice content ..... Look'n sharp TO!
He had to go to court earlier
I love Fusion, DMR is a steep learning curve to program. If hotspots using Fusion were able to change rooms as easy as DMR that would be the bomb.
I would expect more and more advanced hotspots to solve these problems.

Agreed.
This makes a lot of sense to me.
Multimode is going to be left to the hotspot
Yes, I expect to set better and better HS tech in the future.
Thank goodness.
lol
Damnit I just bought one and I'm thinking that I'm prolly just not gonna hear anything on it like the other ones..
Lots of action on YSF
Because each company is greedy and wants their own standard so you will be locked into buying a radio / repeater from them.
Sounds about right
Excuses! Either go for dmr / fm or m17 / fm. Gatekeeping in ham radio to one, proporiatery, digital mode is wrong choice for open in nature hobby.
I think it's an issue for all radio manufactures
Will they? God I hope not!
No kidding. Get over it people stop asking.
The Best....❤️👍
Thanks!
Don't like 90% of DMR users go through a hotspot? The same hotspot that will translate C4FMDMR? So...kind of pointless to ask Yaesu to include DMR.
Fair point!
BS
In europe alot of the old analog 70cm repeaters have been replaced with DMR repeaters. Often Multimode capable but most are set only for DMR.
It’s a published standard and you ID just on FM. To say it’s not a amateur standard is horse hockey.

Right, the crap HW not the protocol / standard.
I hope such a travesty never occurs. Honestly, I am tired of DMR. I'd rather use C4FM, D-Star or EchoLink.
alinco es good radio for dmr don't need yaesu
OK
