Glad my not being familiar with D-STAR (err, I meant "DSTARS") in 2004 brings you a sense of joy.

They don't freak out here...they just try to key up over us hoping to quiet the repeater. Clueless is a very good definition of their lack of knowledge even though I have given numerous demo's locally.

Please note - use 2.5khz deviation (12.5khz spacing) when setting this in your radio.

How is it that the Aussie hams are further ahead on digital than those in the US who think D-STAR is the great operating base for ARES and RACES?? I'll take Phase I P-25 any day over Icom's version that was designed for use in Japan??
