Well satisfied with product Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I became interested in DMR after the school system where I worked 11 years converted their analog trunked radio system to DMR. A friend had a DMR ham repeater on 440 MHZ. After trying a Motorola XPR3500 HT I decided I needed more power and bought the Alinco. It works great, the manual was useless when it came to programming but with You Tube videos, I was able to get it programmed(after I found out it came set for commercial use) and reset it for amateur. DMR is new to me so don't have much to compare this radio to.
CW is my main mode but like to try everything ! !
