I'd love to see this come out, but I have a feeling it will be beyond my price range. https://swling.com/blog/2016/05/european-hams-announce-new-radio-a-dual-band-multi-mode-radio-to-support-dmr-d-star-and-c4fm/

Still haven't seen the big selling point of digi over fm analog.

Because it's new. Duh! You saw how New Coke sold hand over fist.
The thing about New Coke is it made a comeback as "Coke Zero" in this decade. Same flavorings but with artificial sweeteners. You can't keep a good fizzy water down.
I swear if you put up a sign that said "Free Black Eyes And Broken Noses!" people would be lined up for miles waiting to get theirs.

I've had a dual band DMR handheld for a year now and probably talked on it for about 5 minutes. It reminds me of Echolink. Not 'radio' enough for my tastes. Sounds like really bad VOIP.
The C4FM is interesting, as I am all on board with HF digital. Too bad there isn't a C4FM modem like the old AOR digital HF modem, but priced reasonably. FreeDV is fun but hardly anyone uses it.
