Digital ham is in use around OKC (simplex only now)- just to let you know :). APCO-25 standard. Feel free to join in anytime you hear us on it!

VHF now - just using simplex. We both have handhelds now. It seems to behave about the same as analog as for range. An external antenna while mobile is a good idea (just like analog), and a regular HT amplifier for VHF works fine for the digital also (thus transforming it into ~50W handheld). It works and sounds great until the fringe area - then it starts to get garbled and such. I think John and I were planning on bringing the radios to the Scan OKC meeting this Wed.
