Ok well there's something my IDAS radio doesn't have. Glad to know you get an activity indicator for the extra thousands. I stand corrected.

I'll correct you again. You can easily get a new DMR radio (including a TRBO portable) which is comparable to your IDAS radio for under $1,000. They all have busy channel indicators.

Even the lowly Astro Saber which sells for under $100 has one.

Perhaps you should be asking ICOM why they don't have one?

Um... now I'm wondering if there's been a misunderstanding. Every radio has a busy channel light but what I was saying is you don't hear the repeater coming back to you.

Not really any sense in carrying on the argument and getting another infraction over it.

Please check the ARRL Repeater guide pages 587-608 for APCO and DSTAR repeaters. We have a number of digital setups here in Georgia. DSTAR has been around for a number of years as have other forms of ham digital setups.

Does anyone know the NAC number for the 444.100 in Englewood, Florida? I haven't had much response from anyone.
