False - DSTAR, the most reliable, and the most useful

We read what seemed to be a very bias and uninformed blog with no facts, so below I have added some facts if someone wishes to read.

59,573 DMR-Contacts WORLD-WIDE

The important fact is a better quality digital has now exploded, blown up to (60) sixty thousand id's within a few years and in the next year or two years will be the largest digital.  Join me to celebrate what will be the largest digital !  VE3WZW as 2016

As someone that spends my available hobby time on many modes, we all have opinions and most try to be unbiased. But the entire hobby is wonderful and each to his own preference :)

******************************************************************************

Although I don’t have specific numbers, DMR is about 45,000 users in NA,
Dstar is almost 2M worldwide and never suffers from the abusive behaviour sometimes heard on DMR and Analogue including spammers.

That’s why my moneys on Dstar! Great nets and very passionate Fellow Hams participating in meaningful conversations!

The D-Star mode continues its tradition of being the #1 Digital mode, the most reliable, and the most useful.
