Hi Earl, I have the 880 and find it to be a very capable radio, both from an analog and digital point of view. I find it very easy to use and the software that is supplied, although not that flashy, gets the job done.
I think you will be very happy with the purchase. Mine is in use every day. Hope that helps! 73, Robert - N4IJS ----- Original Message ----- From: Earl Needham <earl.kd...@gmail.com> Date: Thursday, January 21, 2010 15:33 Subject: Re: [DSTAR_DIGITAL] Re: New guy To: dstar_digital@yahoogroups.com > > I've been considering the ID-880 -- does this mean I shouldn't? > > Tnx > Earl > > > > WA4YIH wrote: > "But Icom does realize that the remainder of the world is very > different and hence the new programming in the 80/880 series > which was designed for everyone else.
