It's wikipedia so I changed it for ya. The first sentence now says "Digital mobile radio (DMR) is a specification for commercial products so they can interoperate."
and who are you that the Wikipedia gods are not just going to revert your changes? the mods of wikipedia are not my favorite group of peeps. i have little faith in them. so, just because you, some random-to-me person on the internet makes a legit edit does not mean that a mod with an agenda won't come along and put it back

"Maybe this attention will help fix that?"
Fair enough and it sounds like it has. Maybe in future the YC title can be prefixed with something like 'Call to assist: ', for the benefit of those less inclined to edit such articles.
I mean, we are talking about it now. It is an interesting topic. It's just very poorly written. Maybe this attention will help fix that?
From what I've been able to understand, this just means that you can buy a radio from vendor A, and I can buy one from vendor B. As long as they both claim to be part of the DMR standard, then both radios should be able to communicate with each other. Since it's digital, I'm assuming the standard describes the word length and other various aspects so that anyone can decode/encode the proper AD/DA.
But man, why couldn't they just say that?
