Dear sirs, Thank very much for the information. Yes, it is difficult to say which one will better than other. For me/my team we get intend to know more on it before start the project. I heard a story that some where police digital radio system use TDMA format. Syetem Planed <1,xxx sites for "full" out door coverage . As the result it is double the site. They tried to increase the R.F power output. The field strength increase ,but only a bit change. It is because the TDMA format time slot overlap by distance multi path. Increased R.F Power seems result a lot of side band noise up to Ham Band, hi hi!
Back to the Ham digital voice repeater ,due mode is a must . So D-star seems not matchat the moment, but its setup cost within our target. Second hand Mototrbo also meet the budget.But it is TDMA format. P25 cost a lot & no ham use here. The above a my personal point of views ,we intend to find out / select and paln the next project. Digital Ham Repeater . Any suggestion & comment are welcomes.
