I've gotten interested in D-Star, and have been running what's called a
D-Star Hotspot at my home. This is a small

Nobody but SCS has P3.
I know I had to add a daughter board to mod it to the pk232-mbx ..
I have to agree that it would be interesting to experiment with the
D-Star modem, but it doesn't seem practical for HF. In addition to
gobbling up a fair amount of spectrum, I suspect that it would be
difficult to maintain the required SNR with a modem that's 6KHz wide.
The narrow-band
There are people who probably have the answers to the points you make since
some have already had DX QSOs using D-Star -- I haven't, so I'm looking to try
this out on 10 meters. Mostly I think your prediction will turn out to be
correct. I am expecting that only under near-perfect conditions
Jim,
It would be interesting to see how the D-Star modem performs so please
keep us in the loop. From what I gather, the modem for Dave's codec will
not be as narrow as the one used for FDMDV. It will still use Peter's
FDM modem, but the bandwidth will most likely be closer to 2KHz.
