Oh yeah, I forgot about it. That on some business bands like the taxi bands, they have either a string of DTMF's or other type of noise to footprint your radio. So that way, if I take it from you and I do the same thing, they'll say, what are you doing on such and such so and so's radio? You know, so yeah. DMR has something similar, only it doesn't make any tones or anything. It's transmitted when you key up. It's in that digital string. And it's a talk group ID or a unit ID. And it will show up on the screen of every radio that receives it, right? Because DMR, you've got this nice big screen on your radio and it shows you the receiving station when you're looking at it. It shows you the talk group ID of the person you're talking to and where they're located, if they've got that put in there and stuff like that. But that's only on DMR on digital. On this radio here now, when I receive, it just stays the same as showing my frequency and my repeater call sign on the screen of the radio. But on digital, it would transmit whoever you're talking to. Like this radio has the entire DMR database, has those five years ago, which is like thousands of DMR IDs and names and stuff. So if I switch this to DMR and Chuck called me for instance, it would show up AA4HI, Chuck, Halifax County, North Carolina, all that would show right on the screen of my radio. It's pretty cool.
