   Hello, Bob!   
      
   07 Jan 16 15:57, from Bob Seaborn -> Richard Menedetter:

    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> 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:
