DStar took an early lead, but Yaesu is keen to take market share with their Fusion offering. In the ham radio arena, the picture is a little less clear. For business & private radio, DMR followed by NXDN is the two most popular choice. For emergency services and government communications, P25 is by far the most dominant, there’s no doubt about that. And guess what? Absolutely none of them are compatible!Ĭhoosing what digital voice standard you'll go with can be daunting. That doesn’t even consider the ham radio contenders, such as DStar, Fusion, FreeDV, some old offerings from Alinco & AOR and so on.
Yet, everyone has to have their own standard! Just take two-way radio digital voice systems for example: there’s P25 phase 1 and phase 2, NDXN, DMR, TETRA, OpenSky, Provoice, and dPMR, along with a whole host of legacy digital voice modes as well. "The nice thing about standards is there are so many to choose from." I love the ironic humor in this statement a standard should result in everyone doing things the same way in order to be compatible, and prevent having to constantly re-invent the wheel.
