There are two flavors of D-Star: DV and DD. The high speed (128KBPS) 1200 MHz stuff is DD. The average user radio is DV. The two data streams have different purposes, and a DV radio can't interpret (or, right now, even receive) a DD stream. Explain something to me. I don't know much at all about APRS (and what I know about it leads me to find it supremely uninteresting). What is this MSG capability you keep harping on about, exactly? What is it used for, and how is it transmitted? -- Jay Maynard, K5ZC at K6ZC port B http://www.conmicro.com http://www.k6zc.org http://www.tronguy.net http://jmaynard.livejournal.com (Yes, that's me!) http://www.hercules-390.org
