3) Irish Amateur Radio Digital Network




There are a number of radio amateurs in Ireland now experimenting with and using digital modes on the VHF and UHF bands. There are three main digital modes in use... Digital Mobile Radio (DMR), D-Star from ICOM and System Fusion from YAESU. Considering that DMR is not tied to one specific vendor and the cost of cheap Chinese handhelds, DMR is likely to be the dominant mode in Ireland.
