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.

442.600 KB4CTS mixed mode repeater SK
Unfortunately the KB4CTS 442.600 mixed-mode Quantar that was up on the Auburn tower in Eastern Wake County is off the air. The repeater is on Ebay being sold. Randy KB4CTS is using the funds to further DMR for Amateur Radio use in Wake and surrounding counties.

I am the admin. for multiple P25 mixed mode Quantar repeaters, here's the list:
Sacramento wide area;
443.600/448.600 analog PL 141.3 / P25 NAC 29B, 5khz wide
Modesto wide area;
440.800/445.800 analog PL 107.2 / P25 NAC 29B, 5khz wide
Merced wide area;
440.800/445.800 analog PL 114.8 / P25 NAC 29A, 5khz wide
Fresno wide area;
441.800/446.800 analog PL 141.3 / P25 NAC 29B, 5khz wide
443.300/448.300 analog PL 107.2 / P25 NAC 29B, 5khz wide
443.600/448.600 analog PL 114.3 / P25 NAC 29A, 5khz wide
147.090/147.690 analog PL 141.3 / P25 NAC 29B, 4khz
Next system is being built and will be on the air by end of 2014:
Coalinga wide area;
443.725/448.725 analog PL 107.2 / P25 NAC 29B, 5khz wide
NOTES:
NAC 29B systems are analog linked and P25 local repeaters
NAC 29A systems are analog and P25 standalone repeaters
Enjoy... it's open systems and the linked analog audio is also linked into the entire Los Angeles, San Diego, Riverside, Ventura and Las Vegas UHF repeaters with an agreement with another Radio Club. So, you will be hearing/talking to Southern California traffic on my linked repeaters.

Yep! Although the call is now KG4MRA and they'll be switching on P25 4/4/14. Will finally be able to use my VHF P25 gear!
Hazard, KY (Southeastern KY)

Here in Colorado there are 2 p25 ham repeaters 145.220 NAC 293 and 145.445 NAC ABC
Correction to my earlier post
Allow me to make one correction to my listing of the Midland, TX P25 VHF repeater. The NAC is 293, not 093 as I earlier said. It is P25. Unknown how many users it has. Also, P25 repeaters do not need PL codes. The NAC is the P25 equivalent of PL (or DPL, for that matter). PL and DPL are for conventional FM use. If the repeater is a mixed-mode, (conventional and P25) it might have a PL (or DPL) as well as a NAC decode function to determine which mode to repeat. Hope this helps clear up a bit more P25 confusion. I have two ICOM IC F1721D VHF mobiles I use on 2 meters (analog and digital) as well as various public safety frequencies in my area. There are a couple of agencies who's bases transmit analog and receive both analog and P25. Makes it interesting to program the radios !!!
