Dayton has analog, DSTAR and TRBO... no P25, wonder what gives.

Quantars are expensive. Plenty of P25 simplex I'll bet, like at many hamfests these days. We're still working toward a P25
repeater in the DC area and for whatever reason it's a slow process, and we have the Quantar already!

Oh certainly, I'll have P25 at dayton as I have for years, because most batlabbers are using it there. One would think there would be more of a benefit to "sell" P25 if there was a good repeater there around Hara.

I guess I'm really lucky to have a P25 repeater to use here in the Detroit area.

If people can afford XTL 5000s, APX 7000s, two or three XTS 5000s or whatever current production radio is out there. Then they can afford a Quantar.

Yes true, a Quantar is not easy to network, but it is not impossible.

TRBO has alot of cool features at a dirt cheap price. But as some of you know and fail to admit, we all know TRBO repeaters are made like toys far as the hardware is concerned. I know many people that have played with TRBO and gave up on it after 6-9 months because they just do not hold up like the quantars do to continuous duty abuse at full power !

MTR3000? I find them quite reliable....

And YES, Quantars are cheap and getting cheaper since they are discontinued.

I was speaking of the XPR series which was designed from the start as TRBO, the MTR 3000 is merely a modified MTR 2000 to do TRBO. So in a sense the MTR 3000 was "married" to the TRBO family after it was born. Which was a smart move on Motorola's part to keep the TRBO project afloat.

A Quantar USED cost about the same as a TRBO repeater BRAND NEW. So when I say TRBO equipment is dirt cheap, I mean it from a brand new level. Not used level.

There was a P25 Quantar up at Dayton last year.... and there will be again this year.

[desperado]

Quantar Bill had a number of them there.
