   Hey Rich,   
      
    RL> Have you started or made a total switch to digital yet? And if so, which   
    RL> one and what was the main reason for that particular one?   
      
    RL> I have started my switch. I have a new Yeasu FT2DR which uses C4FM   
    RL> digital. I also have an Icom ID-31 that is a UHF D-Star hand held. I   
    RL> plan to get a DMR radio to kind of round it out, and from there make a   
    RL> determination which one is the best for me.    
      
   I just passed the first exam and should be getting my Callsign sometime this   
   week.  I also purchased the FT2DR and have been looking forward to playing with   
   it and seeing how it works.    
      
    RL> Locally we have a lot of Hams with DMR radio. It seems that is the main   
    RL> one most people here are using. What about you guys?   
      
   I am located in Ft Worth Texas and we seem to have quite a mix of repeaters.    
   I'm looking at the iCom 7100 to venture off in the D*Star world and see what is   
   going on in that direction.   
      
   Thanks for thowing this out there.
