I agree completely. There's DMR out there, and it's taking off here like wildfire. Tetra is better, but there's no open source basestation code and the standard is quite complex and handsets are hard to get at least until state agencies switch to LTE. There's also P25 and I think OP25 is the project to watch in the future. OP25 basically now has a full layer 1 and layer 2 implementation. It's mature and has support from a known entity. But it has no layer 3 behind, so that's a place to start digging.
