Talk:Digital private mobile radio

Title
This technology is known generically as 'dPMR' but wiki has dPMR linked directly to PMR446? When this is resolved this page should move to dPMR.--Vharywolf (talk) 13:13, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

really distinct?
Are DPMR and DMR really separate services? --Wtshymanski (talk) 02:54, 8 June 2010 (UTC) dPMR and DMR are totally different in terms of RF operation. dPMR is FDMA and DMR is TDMA. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.48.132.48 (talk) 15:04, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

Antennae vs Antennas
As reported in J.D. Krauss "Antennas" book "The plural of the zoological antenna is "antennae" but the plural of the radio antenna is "antennas". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.16.38.178 (talk) 16:52, 22 October 2010 (UTC)


 * That's only because the use of the word 'antenna' for a radio purposes is strictly American, and Americans are too lazy to pluralise the word properly. In English the word is 'Aerial' (plural: Aerials). 86.178.176.77 (talk) 15:52, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Really? Google Books says the Newnes "Dictionary of electronics" defines "antenna" on page 12, and for "aerial" on page 4 it says "See antenna". Newnes is a British publisher. Is "Linacre House,Jordan Hill, Oxford OX2 8DP" not an address somewhere in the UK?  What do they call it in Dehli? --17:00, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

dPMR and NXDN 'very simular' ????
I did a little bit of research into dPMR lately and I was surprised to see the statement that "dPMR and NXDN are very simular" which seams to be based on the fact that i-com and kenwood now offer dual-standard radios. My impression is that this far from the case. See my message in the "digitalvoice" list on googlegroups: I asked the question in that group to have somebody double-check this, but I did not get any replies (positive or negative) so I think that the analysis does is correct. I would propose to change the wikipedia page to "dPMR uses FDMA, simular to the NXDN protocol implementation by Kenwood and Icom; but these protocols differ very much on protocol-level. Both radio manufactorers now offer dual-standard equipment (July 2013)." (if a english-native speaker can come up with a better way to say this, please propose) Krbonne (talk) 01:54, 25 May 2015 (UTC)

Link to "interoperability" is dead
The link to "interoperability" (http://www.etsi.org/index.php/standards/interoperability) is broken. I propose to remove it. Krbonne (talk) 01:54, 25 May 2015 (UTC)
