I disagree. I do believe that a Digital repeater system requires much more attention then an Analog. You can get away with a lot more on an Analog system then the Digital Dstar system. Just look at the specs of a Dstar system compared to an Analog. Which specs are you referring to that are so

If you compare the specs on audio RX on a Dstar system to an Analog you will see the difference. Dstar needs a bit more of an umpf to receive. As for the amplifier, yes.. 50' tower is all we can go and its, just flat land... ' Total level 530' above sea level. KE5KAF
