Geeking out tonight

Recently purchased a new radio - the Baofeng DMR-6X2. What makes this one interesting is that it is your regular two-band FM ham radio handheld walkie but it also supports digital transmissions using the DMR (Digital Mobile Radio) protocols. These were developed by commercial and emergency services to allow encrypted communication over digital radio. This allows more "channels" (called "talkgroups") in a band. The repeaters can be connected to the internet so you can be driving down I-5 and keep on your talkgroup as you get handed off from repeater to repeater. Different technology but it works a lot like a cell phone.

Something new to learn.
