[450] Any using or trying DMR?

Thu Dec 10 06:15:41 UTC 2015

ok here is the rdt file. I set up public service on one side amateur on the
other. I downloaded a codeplug for the ontario region for a tryout,
installed smoothly. So use to analog I would've understood a csv file heh.
alright got it now. Feel free to add any tri-state area digital machines I
missed. I'll be using the base antenna on occasions to. Dont know how
accessible further repeaters might be on digital, but if its anything like
nextel direct without a repeater then coverage will be very interesting.
Thanks in advance.
