Don't feel bad if you can't use your STD100/200; there are still people using Digital Frequency Search!

Ok, it says so in specs, but not in features...?

This one will do 12.5 kHz C4FM FDMA:


That's a nice looking mobile.

It's the same as the FT1D. Yaesu's digital mode.

Digital Communication Technology
The FT1D usesC4FM FDMA (C4FM - 4-level FSK Modulation, FDMA - Frequency Division Multiple Access), which has been developed for the professional LMR communications. It uses this enhanced technology for a lower BER (bit error rate), resulting in stable communications without interruptions during mobile operations, even in a rapidly moving vehicle.
Digital and Analog Modes
It is possible to switch between Digital and Analog communications by pressing one button on the radio. When the digital communications are interrupted due to a weak signal, you can switch to the Analog mode and stay connected to the station you were communicating with.

Anyone get one of these yet?

Here’s a video of the digital voice:

It sounds on par with P25 (well not quite but close) – but better than MotoTRBO!

True, I don't have any practical TRBO experience... I was just going by what I've heard from youtube videos.

I agree there's a lot more variables to test...

i.e. I won't pay $520 for that radio. ;)

It'll come down in price by x-mas.
