A digital radio will set you back over $1000 for low end model and for a top end, well over $2500spartacus wrote:The Price???APCO 25 Encrypted wrote:Yes, i agree. Digital is the way to go.

Things are a little bit cheaper in the amateur world, but not much. APCO 25 is what the emergency services are using (VKI is using it for their digital system).APCO 25 Encrypted wrote: A digital radio will set you back over $1000 for low end model and for a top end, well over $2500
D-Star is a similar but incompatible digital format being pushed by Icom.
