The Yaesu C4FM and MotoTRBO are not compatible. The Yaesu is C4FM FDMA
while the TRBO is 2 slot TDMA. The Yaesu product is essentially a P25
digital type radio.
We have groups of folks here in Central
Florida that are using both P25 and TRBO and having a lot of fun. I use
both myself in amateur and professional capacities (I'm a field tech for
the local Motorola shop here in Orlando). We also have a fairly active
D-Star following here as well, but I also thought the cost was a bit
prohibitive. I personally enjoy the TRBO operation. Using the IP Site
Connect mode, there is world-wide coverage via FM repeaters. Plus,
unlike D-Star, there are several manufacturers now producing TRBO/DMR
radios, so prices are coming down. A company called Connect Systems is
now offering a DMR radio for under $200.
