      Hello, Bob!              07 Jan 16 15:57, from Bob Seaborn -> Richard Menedetter:               >> BS> Well, I do also have a fusion and a dmr rig, but don'tplay with        >> BS> them all that much. I do much prefer the audo quality of D-STAR.        >>        >> Really??               BS> Yes, absolutely! I do have rigs for all three, and fusion is        BS> close to D-STAR, but I'd say that dmr has a way to go. Mind you, I'm        BS> using them all with a DV4Mini, as we only have D-STAR and fusion        BS> repeaters within range here.              It very much contradicts what other people I know say.              Maybe it is an implementation issue in your other radios??       Fact is that D-Star uses an older, worse version of the AMBE codec than the       others.              DMR and Fusion use AMBE+2 which is from the same company as D-Stars older AMBE       Codec, but with improved sound quality:       https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-Band_Excitation              CU, Ricsi              --- GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5        * Origin: fido.ricsi.priv.at (2:310/31)    |
