[DSTAR_DIGITAL] UT-118 Opinions

2008-11-22 Thread Mark
As someone just getting into D-Star, I almost forgot about my U82 HT. It appears that the UT-118 will get me DV on this HT? Although, at $219, I wonder if this card will give me a full function DV HT? Has anyone used the UT-114/118 in this series HT? Are you happy with it for DV, considering

Hi Mark, Yes, the UT-118 is all you need for that HT, and yes, that will give you all of DV. It is a small PCB with basically only the AMBE2020 chip, an inverter gate, and an A/D codec. I dislike the U82 for indeed that reason- its display is too small for my taste. It works, and works fine

Make contact with KD4AGC, He uses the U82 on our system here in Lakeland and on the Tampa Systems also. He has also used it on W4AES in the past also. He loves it, though not much to speak of programing wise, but for UHF operation and several wide area repeaters, works fine. - Evans F.
