D-STAR has been rapidly growing in popularity in the past few years, especially with the simple to use and program fourth generation Icom models, such as the ID-51 hand held, and now the IC-7100 HF/VHF/UHF mobile with its huge touch screen. Icom recently temporarily cut the price of its D-STAR infrastructure in half, to stimulate new D-STAR repeaters going into service.
UPMan, I'm wondering if there is any hope that the x36 will eventually incorporate firmware upgrades and/or model variants to accommodate D-STAR? D-STAR uses DVSI's venerable AMBE++ vocoder, and GMSK.
