You missed the whole point. You and Ed seem to advocate that DPLUS is the only legitimate way to talk across the D-STAR network and have at least alluded that you would like callsign routing banned. For those cases where it makes better sense, it is the right solution, and it is part of the

Has anyone used a FM Linear amplifier with a D-Star hand held? I have An IC91AD and a Daiwa LA-2035R (pre-amp and 30 Watt amplifier). John VE6BOS

But to those of us who truly do wish to communicate with an individual (as with those of us who are trained on AEDs), it is nice to have the capability when wanted/needed. Oh I generally agree. I was just emphasizing how non sequltur the attempted analogy with debfibrillators on airplanes
