Rick,
You will love the 880 (I have several of them).
Let me echo that you should indeed purchase the programming cable for it and
download the software from Icom. I would be glad to share my icf file with you
if that would help you get started or you can find examples on them of the
DSTAR
I picked up a dvap earlier today. Setup was easy and it was up and running in
short order.
I can connect tx an rx to any reflector that I have tried, however I can only
connect rx only to the local repeaters (3 in my area).
Am I missing something.
Thanks!
I am considering adding an Icom 880 to the car along with the Icom 2720 that is
already installed. My concern is having 2 radios on the same band blasting 50
watts into the other receiver.
Am I making a mountain out of a molehill or is having 2 radios on the same band
running that much power
You might also try putting the radio in a sealed bag of rice for 3 or 4 days.
The rice will absorb any residual moisture in the radio.
This has worked for people who have dunked their cell phones.
Good Luck!

If you find that you must use a Diamond or Comet antenna, I would suggest that
you at least solder each connection. The mechanical connections will cause you
grief over time.
Also, take the time to seal the antenna joints (including the top cap) as they
will allow water to find a way in.
I can only add this...I have an 880 and love it. It has one of the best
receivers of any 2 meter / 440 rig I have.
You won't be sorry you spent more $$$.

Pretty soon, there will be a new version of the dongle that will let you
create a mini-pool of D-STAR RF coverage around your PC
This got my attention. Can you please elaborate on this? I didn't see this on
the DV Dongle web site.
Thanks!
