DMR-MARC and DMR Plus partnership (DMR Plus North America)

DMR Plus is the original network that developed tools to interconnect Hytera and Motorola repeaters. It has been popular in Europe for years but now, with the cooperation of DMR-MARC, it has finally arrived in North America and the South Pacific. The DMR Plus architecture is similar to D-Star. Users have talkgroups to converse, to disconnect, and to monitor channel status. Users choose from a large pool of reflectors and move back to the converse talkgroup for all QSOs.

The DMR-MARC and DMR Plus partnership is ideal. The DMR-MARC network is robust and reliable. The DMR Plus network is more aligned with experimentation and interoperability of technologies. Think of DMR Plus as the best possible implementation of the former DMR-MARC Sandbox.

DMR-Marc Frequently Asked Questions

DMR-Marc Frequently Asked Questions


1. Can I use the MOTOTRBO Anywhere app on DMR-MARC?
No. The app requires a $50,000 hardware gateway which we do not have.

2. Do I have to buy a DMR radio to use the network.
Yes.

3. Do I need a C-bridge to join the network?
No. Just apply to join the network and we will find a suitable master repeater for your peer repeater.

4. Do I need to make a voice ID on the network or is a numeric ID legal?
According to USA FCC rules, one must identify with voice every 10 minutes and at the end of the call. Other countries may have more lenient requirements. The GSM ID on your radio is nonetheless, not a legal ID.

5. Who is my local Motorola dealer? Do they offer "ham friendly" pricing?
Here are the dealers. These dealers, in particular, are known to offer great pricing for hams. (List courtesy of NO7RF)

6. Are used radios available?
Yes. Ebay has some.

7. Will my non-Motorola DMR radio work on the network?
For voice calls, yes, for roaming and texting maybe not. Some alternative brand radios are Vertex Standard, Tait, Kenwood, RCA, Connect Systems, Hytera, Harris, Kirisun, Simoco, Sepura, and BFDX. As long as the radio is DMR Tier II complaint, it'll work on our network.

8. Should I disable AGC on the network?
The majority of users should. Check the Audio
