Great video. Thought I might add that the OpenSpot3 (now the OpenSpot4) gateway enables an operator to listen to DMR, DSTAR, and YSF on any DMR, DSTAR, or YSF radio.

On the 878. Look into the digital simplex privacy codes in the setup. You'll like it.

How to hook up this radio devices to classic motorola walkie talkie with their channel 10-4?
@baron1c
Can I use the digital modes over MURS frequencies? For emcom purposes? So bad actors cant gain intel.

I live in SW MI and monitor 2m, 220, and 70cm. There is very little repeater activity in this area. The most popular (most used) is a 70cm Fusion repeater. For digital repeaters, I would say that Fusion is number-1, DSTAR is number-2, and DMR is number-3. As an aside, I never hear anything on 220, presumably all of the 220 repeaters are too far away. I am a former ham and am seeking to reenter the hobby. The one thing that I really like about the Fusion repeaters is that the comms are crystal clear.

If you are interested in obtaining a Motorola or EF Johnson to use, there are people on IG that refurb and program them and they are the same price or just a bit more expensive than the radios shown in this video.

I bought the Ailunce HD-1 with GPS, its basically a Retevis radio with a different name. It is compatible with RT-80 and RT-8 I think.

Motorola DTR radios in 900mhz ISM bands are license free, use FHSS ‘frequencies hopping spread spectrum’ use digital voice and texting messages and have both private or public groups with encrypted secure modes. Great for secure tactical coms, and are only $100 and easy to program, have great off shelf battery life with common headsets. You can buy in bulk and still find replacement cases, batteries and antennas. 🎉

With DMR, another "privacy" feature for groups would be not operating in Promiscuous Mode. Program group radios with radio identity numbers so that only those on the list with communicate with each other. Let me know if I am wrong about how this feature works.

Excellent video. I concur with your evaluation of the different digital modes. I use an Ailunce HD-1 and find it’s a solid radio , 10 watts, great battery, water resistant. Aaaaaaaaannnnd encryption if ever needed. If I was ever a comm guy for a group, I would look long and hard at it. AD8DU.

Good video ! FT70, had it, did not like it. 1) Battery-worst battery ever ! Bar none. 2) digital, does just enough digital to piss you off, leaves you wanting because it serious lacks usability. ATleast in my area. Truly cannot believe they are still making it. FT3D, I have it and enjoy it very much. The only problem I have is it is way smarter than me. It does more than I will ever understand. You said the menu was difficult, I dont think so. Saying that, you hafta stay in the radio, to keep yourself refreshed on wear the menu items are. Sit it down for 2/3 months and you have to start over , atleast I do. But i really like the BANK system and programming freqs to memory and to Banks is very easy. After watching your video I think I will buy an FT65 for a backup radio, 1 is none 2 is 1 ! I never really thought of using digital for security purpose, but it makes sense, to some degree. I have belonged to several prepper groups and was comms officer, i recommended Baoefeng, cheap and easy to program. PURPOSE: group comms at an event. As a Ham radio it is lacking, but for group comms it does fine. Problem is the groups I belonged too never did understand the importance of comms. They were all about guns and gear, very few even invested in the UV5R @ $25. Truth is, without comms, any group is SUNK before it gets started in a real SHTF scenario. ANyways, rant over, I enjoy your videos and your slant on them. God Bless

Well, knock on wood, I have a FT-70D for almost a year now. The main issue I have is adjusting the volume. The VX-6 is a better design.

I bought a new FT 70 from HRO. In the first year it had to go back to Yaesu three times for three separate repairs. The third time it came back from a Yaesu I sold it on eBay for what ever I could get for it
