  • How I got my DMR rig at Amateur Friendly DMR price point
    • So, most of us DMR enthusiasts are aware that quality rig can get pricey. And, yes, we also know that if one’s looking for a “starter kit”, one can get into at a decent price.  But, we also know the quality we get is what we pay for;  I have soon realized after double spending, it’s best to invest in quality rig than to double, triple spend.
    • After much exploring, I started looking for Motorola DMR rig at decent price point – that is DMR at amateur radio price point.
    • I had pinged Ken Bryant (K1DMR)., he’s a HAM to start and a Motorola dealer next; He gave me (and others) some good deals on Motorola equipment. Please feel free to ping him at his site here. You can reach him at :
      • 706 896 0000706 896 0000 . email@kenbryant.net
      • disclaimer : I don’t have any personal or business interest in his business :). I am only sharing this because, I think he’s a good honest guy and wants to help us hams get a good deal on Motorola gear
  • DMR Radios and Amateur Radio Store in Minnesota
