I think these lessons are all right. I don't have a need for Japanese, but as an American that used to work in Paris, France every few months I found that knowing your way around a restaurant and day to day stuff isn't bad. When it comes down to it, the French didn't want you hear your bad

Columbus is an odd place anyway. I lived there for a few years during college. I suspect that it's like anything else. The mantra is We fear change. D*Star is not overly popular here in Denton, TX either. (Suburb of Dallas/Fort Worth) However, that doesn't mean we aren't going to utilize it

Hi David, The same was said about Echolink. People seem to not like the unknown there was a time Echolink was the same. Just ride the wave for a while until people learn or are educated to the benefits of Dstar - You will find most who oppose it have never tried it! Steve EI2GYB On

Personally I think on the hand of VOIP and Dstar I think the add more capabilities to ham radio do I think analog will be replaced by digital no now it might take away some of the experimental band set by arrl which is where it should be at this early stage of dstar because it is still

I'm not sure where the comments are coming from in Columbus. I have been involved in repeaters in Columbus for a number of years as well as a trustee of 2 of them. As for 5.49/442.800, I know that some of the users bought Dstar radios and are now active there. I hope that things will

There's little chance of D-Star repeaters replacing analog repeaters in northern California, and I suspect that's true in many places in the US. The voting members of our frequency coordination organization are people who have coordinated repeaters, and of course virtually all of those are

I live in the Columbus metro area and like others want to see D Star grow here. I agree with what I read about keeping off 146.52 and even 146.55 and leave those to FM Simplex. Let's continue to use the D Star simplex. I think when the Columbus machines are full gateway there will be a jump

Well, the attachment is for a 2820 or 880 with a 3/32 stereo plug for data. The 92 uses the funny mic connector. The video shows just stuffing pins 2+3 from a DB 9 in the mic hole, and holding them there with the mic connector cover and then connecting DB9 pin 5 ground to ground(antenna

Hi Jim, Although frequency co-ordination is a necessary evil too much power absolutely corrupts as in the case of repeater co-ordination groups. If there is a large enough group of people that want to put up D-Star repeaters and you can prove that a frequency pair has not been used for over

Mike, I suspect you are right about taking forceful action in a lot of cases. The other side of the coin is that at least in northern CA, it seems to me this is less about money and more about control and not wanting change -- human nature stuff. I subscribe to the Yahoo group for members of
