Emergency Communications, or EMCOM, is a significant element of amateur radio.  As new voice modes are added there is always interest in using the latest technology.

DMR on the Brandmeister network has taken a major step in making DMR much more usable for EMCOM.

The following annoucement was posted in the BrandMeister Facebook group:

Due to the high demand for emergency communications on DMR we have implemented two new (worldwide) talkgroups

• TG 9911 – EMCOM US
• TG 9112 – EMCOM EU

Please keep these talkgroups clear. Use them only for Emergency Communications!

(FAQ: why is there a 9 infront of each TG? The 9 stands for global TGs that are not bound to any country.)

The use of this Talkgroup is strongly discourages, except during an emergency.

You can listen to the DMR Roundtable on 3106, Mondays at 11pm (Eastern Time) for updates.
