I agree. The entire reason I got my license was mostly due to buying my first UV5R and realizing there was so much that I couldn’t legally do with it.
Same here. Without that
I have an Anytone AT-D878UV on the way and am pulling out my hair in a fun way getting a grasp on DMR. Seems I’ll need a hotspot to get the most out of it. Have had EchoLink for a few weeks and have my DMR ID set. Just need the radio to start toying around.
