Many thanks for all your work on this! You are a hero!

[@GokhanKaya]

This is very good; thank you. It would be good to add GPS Logging feature as well.

[@robertzimmerer3516]

Thanks for taking the time to put this together. Having the TOC menu is great! I've got this one bookmarked for future reference! (when are you going to add the DR mode details for D-STAR repeater mode? ;-) )

[@KE6VRK]

Thanks Robert for watching. I wanted to give a comprehensive tour of the radio and also a video that people can skip around and check different items. Thanks again

Nice ... looking at yaesu ft5dr and this one. I don't care about aprs and there is no dstar repeaters near here ... my club members only use dmr. Is there any reason I've overlooked why I should buy this over the yaesu? Thanks

[@joel6221]

Any insight on setting up this radio for D-Star on an OpenSpot 3? I've tried for days with no success.

[@A10Jedi]

Have you figured out to use the EchoLink memories?

[@digitalanaloguehamradio]

[@DEVLiquiD]

Painfully slow and disorganized. Have a plan or outline for yourself so as to not be stumbling. Show how to power up for the first time out of the box. Show step by step how to enter into memory a freq, shift, and tone, and how to save them. Show how to go from one memory location to another. The basics to get a new ham up and running. Save all the fancy stuff for later. Thanks.
