APX Series will never support DMR as it only supports a higher protocol P25 which is Public Safety Grade.. DMR was designed more for business and other applications other then Public Safety....

I wouldn't say never. It has the hardware to support DMR.

No, that comes in the new APX9000 and APX9000XE being shown at IWCE in 2018. In addition to DMR, it also supports Iridium, Garmin Rino on-screen position plotting of other units, VHF-Lo band, and cellular formats. The antenna is 18" long (rumored stubby to be available at 16").
Now when someone Googles the 9000-series, it'll have something to find.
