This was the crux of the beginning of this thread.
One, is D-STAR legal below 29 mHz. in the US (it appears to be based
on its characteristics and the regulations)
Two, lets encourage manufacturers to not artificially disable it in D-
STAR capable HF rigs based on pre-conceived ideas.
Three, if it is not disabled, lets experiment and find out what it can
do.

My point. Don't write off digital HFvoice. It's still early
days. I doubt D-STAR is going to have great performance on HF, but
hey, if one can experiment, why not? Worst that can happen is it
won't work. ;)
