Hi Jon,

In my particular application I need to have the radio connected to an amp to 
hit the repeater from my house. It would just make it a lot cleaner not having 
to pick up the radio
with all the wires hanging off it and use an external mic. With the 91 you 
could simulate
the base station experience and have the radio hooked to a computer, amp and 12v
supply.

Thanks,

Hi Barry,

I'm using the same setup as Mike KI5M is using, the Mirage BD-35. It puts out 
about 40 watts 
on the MID (2.5W) setting on the 92AD and works fine in the house and car. It 
gives the 
flexibility of having a HT and base/mobile rig for about $180 more than the 92 
costs. 

I wonder if the OPC-1799 data cable could be opened up and run a couple of more 
pairs for 
the audio? I haven't seen the mic/data connector in person, is it a sealed unit 
or does it disassemble?

Also that GPS mic you included the info for is way cool. I'm a little sceptical 
about laying out 
the bux for the Icom GPS mic but if the Infinity GPS mic would interface to the 
Icom I'd snap it 
up in a second.

 Hi Richard,
 
  
 
Well that makes sense and adds another element to why you don't want to
 use the radios speaker and microphone. Which amplifier are you using?




[dstar_digital] Voice and Data on 92AD???

2008-10-12 Thread rrkpl
I was listening to some folks  on a local repeater getting D-Rats working on 
their individual 
radios today. They were sending data and then discussing what was working and 
what 
wasn't. It occurred to me that had they been using 92ADs this wouldn't have 
been posable 
without disconnecting the data cable and plugging in the mic over and over. 
This seem like a 
poor implementation of the concept of being able to do voice and data, 

Has anyone come up with a more elegant solution to communicating with both 
voice and 
data on the 92?

Thanks,
