I could not agree more Don! There isn't much advantage for amateur
radio to digital voice operations. Just another "kink in the wire"!
No advantage at all. All the digital voice stuff I have heard sounds
terrible at times. Motorola's system (proprietary no doubt!) can sound
absolutely awful when signal conditions are bad.

You have listed 3 digital voice modes that do not talk to each other.
Furthermore, I recall that these are proprietary coding schemes.
That is not "Ham Radio" in my mind. Ham Radio is "everyone can talk
to everyone else", and those digital voice systems where you can only
talk to those hams who have purchased the same brand of equipment as
you have selected is more like commercial circuits where you want to
shut out those who do not 'speak the same language that you do'.
I don't think proprietary protocols belong on the ham bands - just my
not so humble opinion. Yes, I am also opposed to proprietary data modes.

Take a look at the digital voice modes that are being used on the VHF
