.......very nice story from Pete; NY2V:
Last Fall, a group from the Liverpool Amateur Repeater Club (LARC) collaborated in developing a comprehensive program designed to showcase the emerging technology behind Digital Mobile Radio (DMR). We conducted our first full day program, DMR College to the Upstate New York Amateur Radio community in Syracuse this past October. By all accounts, it was well received and was considered to be quite successful.
Word spread across the region and we were approached by the Greene County ARES group to conduct a similar program in the Catskill Region. Len Signoretti, N2LEN, worked hard to procure space in the Greene County Public Safety Center, send out the invitations, and coordinate all the details.
On Saturday, March 30th, Rich Kilmartin (WB2WAU), Pete Sochocki (NY2V), Ron Panetta (WB2WGH), and Joe Apuzzo (N1JTA) presented a full day of information and skill development in utilizing DMR.

LARC Evaluation DMR Repeater is on the air!
LARC Evaluation DMR Repeater Available for Testing! (Facebook update from LARC on 8/27/18)
LARC is pleased to announce the evaluation DMR repeater is available for testing. We would like to thank Len Signoretti, N2LEN, and Dennis Hudson, N2LBT, for their assistance to LARC in configuration of the repeater and integration into the larger NY DMR MARC C-Bridge network. For those knowledgeable in DMR code plug programming (radio programming) reference the following information for code plug modification
Network: DMR-MARC
Rx: 443.3MHz
Tx: 448.3MHz
Color Code: 1
Repeater Location: Cazenovia, NY
Note: PARROT is currently unavailable due to issues on the DMR MARC network and the DMRX group is working to resolve.
If you have any issues with configurating your code plugs, please contact Ron Panetta (r o n at p a n m a n . u s). If you have questions and are not familiar with code plugs, feel free to send them to Ron and he will either answer them real time or batch them up for Q&A at the September meeting. Please be sure to include your phone number in any email as some issues will be easier and faster to work via telephone than via email. For those of you who have yet to obtain a DMR identification number, please go here and register. It usually takes a couple of hours to get your ID. We cannot program your radio without that ID number.
We recognize many of you are unfamiliar with code plug programming. Fear not, LARC will be assisting in HT radio programming along with meeting programs on the topic should the membership move forward with procurement of the system.
Note that the repeater is temporarily staged at our Cazenovia location, co-located with the 147.21 repeater and will remain there until we 1) ensure any programming issues are addressed and 2) the membership votes on purchase authorization at the September meeting. Pending closure on both items, we will relocate the DMR repeater to the Pompey, NY location which is where the 146.91 repeater is located and the location of the recently disabled 443.3MHz Fusion

Press release from LARC on their DMR plans:

Liverpool
Amateur Repeater Club (LARC) Plans for Digital Mobile Radio (DMR)
August 6,
2018
DMR has been a hot topic of late and the LARC Board of
Directors (the “Board”) has engaged in many discussions on the topic over the
last year. At the August 6 board
meeting, the Board passed a motion to bring to the membership at the September
meeting a funding authorization, pending successful evaluation (see below), for
the purchase, configuration and deployment of a LARC DMR repeater for the greater
Syracuse area. If one looks at some of
the DMR footprints in Upstate NY, there is a very noticeable DMR void in the
Syracuse area. Repeaters exist both to
the East and West of us. The Board
believes now is an opportune time to embrace the technology as it is clearly
here to stay.
