Technical question: Does a DSTAR radio automatically switch between analog and digital? i.e. can the DSTAR user hear the analog activity when his radio is in DStar mode so he can "share" the frequency? Sharing between digital and analog was tried back in the packet days... to say the least it didn't work. 73's Skip WB6YMH
