Result still not out?Btw, if looking for people who uses Motorola radios in particular, DMR/Mototrbo.
I've been doing some reverse engineering towards the codeplug.

Latest project - Codeplug reverse engineering.
Got hooked on to DMR radio. Also, warning to all people that wants to get into the DMR world, NEVER BUY TYT RADIO! They cause massive interference because they leak transmission into both timeslot of TDMA. |

QUOTE(sheknow9 @ Feb 21 2016, 09:10 AM) Yes it is updated. QUOTE(sheknow9 @ Feb 21 2016, 09:11 AM) This is actually radios that can do digital voice transmission. Majority of radio in the HAM world is analog. Digital voice is ofcourse way more clearer and don't degrade as distance is further. For my Motorola, the protocol is DMR/Mototrbo. There are also other hams that are using P25 protocol but those radio is way more expensive for me to afford lol. For some reason, using Motorola in the HAM community is like.... frowned upon or something. Everytime I try to talk about Motorola or Mototrbo or something they will always be like... "those are for commercial" etc. lol Dunno lah. Just my little rant. For me, I think Motorola has the best quality hardware in the market currently. HAM pretty much tends to go into HAM products like Yaesu, Icom etc. Granted, Motorola products are not designed for HAM. It is the HAM that discovers it is the best and starts buying it. QUOTE To be fair, the Motorola radios are not marketed to hams. Hams choose to purchase them after doing research and deciding they are the superior product. I just really hope HAM could be more open towards digital communications as it is superior. Currently jealous at Penang HAMs as they have a Mototrbo DMR-MARC repeater there. |

For me, I am using DMR simplex between my friends and occasionally use analog channels for HAM repeater on the same radio since it supports both. Nowdays got companies like Electcoms offering DMR repeater rental which can link the whole semenanjung using DMR trunking on 420MHz(UHF). Not sure about the rate for Electcoms but there was another company which offers trunking at RM 40 per month. RM 400 per year. |

QUOTE(sheknow9 @ Feb 22 2016, 06:21 PM) Yeah. For me, all of mine is 2nd hand. One of them was sold to me because their company project has ended so they just let go at RM 300 lol(brand new is RM 1200 or higher). Motorola is expensive but there is a reason for that. Their radio are heavy duty and properly aligned/tuned. Also if you are going into DMR, never buy TYT radio. They might be cheap but they are terrible. The transmission leaks from 1st timeslot to the 2nd timeslot which causes interference for many people. Hytera is a really good alternative however. There are many other brands as well but for beginers, I would recommend you get an analog radio just to make a few first contacts and practice QSO. From there then can explore more branches such as making your own antenna and even get your own 40watt rig. Be on the lookout for 2nd hand market tho. I've never bought anything brand new except for my Baofeng UV-5R lol Also, don't be fooled by fake "Motorola" radio. Make sure to Google the model number first and see if that model is on their official site and looks the same or not. https://www.facebook.com/groups/radiosale/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/774031062654255/ http://www.mudah.my/li?frmsrch=1&fs=1&ca=9...st=s&q=motorola This post has been edited by aminpro: Feb 22 2016, 07:14 PM |

I would highly suggest you to read this from top to bottom to get to know what is HAM radio. http://www.mares.org.my/forms/guideline.pdf The exam is usually held 2 times per year and there is a limited seat for the monthly exam. The process is easy and quick if you plan everything right. To get your own callsign and license, you will need to sit for a simple exam. After you get your callsign/license, you can start communicating with people on repeaters or direct communications using frequencies allocated for Amateur radio operators. If you have the money you can go to HF frequencies and start communicating overseas. This post has been edited by aminpro: Feb 23 2016, 02:38 AM |

Mostly talk with people. Some enjoy making their own antenna. Some enjoy doing stuff like RF hacking. Some likes to just meet up with fellow HAMs for makan2. For me, I mostly do RF hacking which involves scanning the air for traffic including decoding digital transmissions. Perhaps you should start watching Youtube on HAM radio and see how you like it |
