Lscott Posted April 7, 2022 Report Share Posted April 7, 2022 I periodically look for various radios on the Internet. Recently I've been looking at some for dPMR and stumbled across some manufactures I'm not familiar with. It's not really used in North America, yet, but might be cool to play with on the Ham Bands. These companies make analog/dPMR/dPMR446/DMR446 radios. Yeah, it's sort of confusing, in Europe they have Two digital modes for their license free service, dPMR446 and DMR446. One is the FDMA dPMR and the other is TDMA based, the usual DMR mode. If that isn't confusing enough the dPMR standard allows the use of two different vocoders with the option to use a third one that is manufacture specific. There are three class of equipment depending on the vocoder. https://dpmrassociation.org/downloads/2019-docs/Certified-Interoperability-Guidance-Paper-2019.pdf https://dpmrassociation.org/downloads/2019-docs/dPMR-MoU-tech-lib-Voc-Bits-V1-2019.pdf For analog and DMR/DMR446 I stumbled this company and their radios. I've never heard of them before. They sell analog/DMR radios. https://dts.solutions/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Entel-DTEx-Land-Series-Brochure-from-DTS-Solutions-UK-Ltd.pdf https://www.dmrassociation.org/entel/Entel-DX400-SERIES.pdf Anybody used their equipment or have any experience with them? At least they give away for free the programming software unlike the recent moves by Kenwood to look more like the Motorola where they nickel and dime you to death for every tiny option and license entitlement key hell.
