I don't see how the system you linked is more efficient than D-Star, in fact they use an AMBE vocoder (the heart of DStar digital audio) in their technical specifications. It runs at the same effective baud rate, 4800, as current D-Star DV modes. The only difference I actually see is they were

NXDN uses the same codec/modulation as D-STAR, that is why D-STAR DV is claimed to be 6.25 Khz., the radios may just not be as tight. I think the Utah VHF Society studies showed that different models of Icom D-STAR radios exhibited different RF characteristics. http://utahvhfs.org/dstar.html

Bosshardss: And of course many more recent repeaters can be configured for narrow-band analog service. There's no reason someone couldn't simply decide to take a repeater narrow and there's plenty of Hams now with radios that can do this as well. Chuck - N8DNX bosshardss wrote: > P25 and DSTA

P25 and DSTAR are naturals for cutting bandwidth. DSTAR is -26db @ +/-3 Khz, there abouts (going from memory) and the mask is similar to P25. Some of the new commercial designs will be either 6.25 or 2 talk paths in 12.5 (sharing a system/frequency - isn't that a novel idea?). --- In dstar_di
