Rex and Vickie, Please remember that the Dstar radios also do FM as well as Dstar so if you were to purchase them they can replace the radios you have. Also know that the programming of them does intimidate some people but do not let that stop you as there are lots of people on here that can and will help you to get them set up they can also be programmed from a computer this makes it very easy and convent(plug in a cable and upload the file to the radio and it is programmed) I use the software and cable from www.rtsystemsinc.com and they work very well I have the software that allows me to program all of the different radios I have and use ONE file so all the radios can have the same info in the same channel slots.
