E1748: Here's Why DMR Doesn't Work Like You Think

We cover simplex vs. repeater performance, color code confusion, talkgroup limitations, battery life impact, and the biggest mistakes operators make when switching from FM to DMR.Today's video is sponsored by the Hamspot hotspot - use code KC5HWB for a discount here - https://hamspot.square.site/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ham-radio-2-0--2042782/support.
