Digital voice can seem daunting at first: DMR, D-STAR, C4FM, TETRA, SVXLink — different networks, different radios, different rules. To make it easier to get started, we have built a new overview series on digital voice in Austria on oeradio.at: a compact, hands-on page for every mode — plus a comparison page that brings it all together.
What to expect
The overview "Which mode suits you?" puts all systems side by side in a comparison table — registration, codeplug, radios and barrier to entry at a glance. From there you can dive into the detail pages:
- DMR — BrandMeister, talkgroups (232 & co.), DMR ID and hotspot
- D-STAR — reflectors, registration and your first steps QRV
- C4FM / Yaesu Fusion — WIRES-X, YSF and YCS232 — no ID or codeplug required
- TETRA — professional trunked radio in the amateur service
- SVXLink — reflector radio with any FM rig, plus SA818 hotspot build
Where to find the series
The series has its own menu entry. You can reach it in the main menu under Amateur Radio → Digital Voice — or directly via the Digital Voice overview.
All pages are available in all seven languages of the site and will be expanded over time. Happy browsing — and enjoy your first digital QSO!
