An automatic computer logging technique for hands-off logging when communicating while operating a vehicle
D
A digital technique for transmitting on two repeater inputs simultaneously for automatic error correction
Answer Notes
DMR stands for Digital Mobile Radio. It is a digital radio standard that uses a technology called Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) to divide a standard 12.5 kHz channel into two alternating time slots.
This time-multiplexing technique is highly efficient because it allows two independent digital voice or data conversations to share the exact same frequency simultaneously without interfering with each other. This effectively doubles the capacity of a single repeater channel.
Distractors involving automatic position tracking or transmitting on two repeater inputs simultaneously confuse DMR with APRS or diversity reception techniques. The defining feature of DMR in ham radio is its two-slot time division.
