Bought this little gem on sale. Where I live there is no D-Star, and only recently DMR. Lots of C4FM though. more intuitive to use than the 2d, in some ways. Less things to get lost on. I also have the picture mic, works well, and I use it with the local ham club for bike rides, etc. We have a 400 D which will receive the pics as I take them. This radio will NOT show pictures on it's screen, however the picture is downloaded to the SD card, and can be brought up on a computer. Can also transfer files, and has a text messaging format in the GM part. APRS ready. Written June 17 of 2018 Radio no longer in production
