HamRadioNow: ICOM Stuns, Kills DMR

*Gary Pearce KN4AQ* leads this episode with a note from ARRL HQ responding
to our Force of Two episode about ham radio's part in Puerto Rico's
recovery from Hurricane Maria

We invited the League's Emergency Preparedness Manager *Mike Corey KI1U* to
talk to us (or pass the request along). He did pass it along, HQ declined
the invitation to appear, but did send a short note that we'll read.

Next, the click-bait headline story. On October 30, *Ray Novak N9JA*,
Amateur Division Manager for Icom America, wrote a story on the ICOM blog
titled "Is Your Digital Repeater Ham Friendly?" (see link, below).

Our baitworthy headline comes from Ray's warning that some features in the
radios designed for an un-named commercial digital radio service (cough dmr
cough) can be used against the unwary operator (stun, kill, monitor) and
have no place in the amateur radio service.

We agree, but find Ray's treatment of the subject somewhat opaque,
heavy-handed, and less than helpful. But what the heck - we're clearly not
above a click-bait headline ourselves. Helping us understand the
details is *Jason
Johnston KC5HWB* from the Ham Radio 2.0 show.
Jason reviews just about every Chinese/DMR radio that crosses the ocean to
America. Ray also casts a shadow over a DMR 'required feature' called
talkgroups.

Our discussion branches out to cover that and other comparisons between DMR
and D-STAR. Finally, the night before the show, CBS aired a new episode of
NCIS that had a significant ham radio element.
We show (you'll hear) a couple of clips that do the usual hack job on real
ham procedure, but also include an almost press-release explanation of what
ham radio is. Unfortunately (we are told... we didn't watch the whole show)
the ham-protagonist in the plot turns out to be unstable, and (we are told)
that hams are portrayed as anti-social in general. Maybe we should watch
the whole thing.
