Ed,You say that 37 mile is pretty far? I can hit repeaters over 100 miles away
everyday on 2m. I work more than one repeater 4 in Harrisburg, Pa- 2 in
Hagerstown, Md - 1 in Salisbury, Md- 1 in Crisfield, Md. I work Delaware,
Virginia, & DC. All more than 40 miles. So how is D-Star better than t

Brian if you read what I said then maybe you and a few others wouldn't said
your dumb comments. Go back and read it. You live in another country. Not in
America.
But Ed I do thank very much for you
openning my eyes to just how worthless D-Star is for most of us living here in
America. Thanks eve
I have found a few here with very helpful info. But a few others must have
rocks for brains. READ EVERYTHING THAT WAS SAID BY ME ROCKY! Or can you
understand everything that you read? It not maybe you shouldn't say anything at
all.

i can say its a growing mode here in Connecticut. 5 repeater systems/stacks
and new users every week.
remember dstar radios do analog too so you get the best of both worlds.

Not the norm . ANALOG has more range
How many contacts without Internet or REPEATERS do you have on D-star at 200
miles or more ? How many states have you worked ? Moving forward is a relative
term
We have a motto .
Put up a antenna crank up the power and join us on ANALOG 146.52 SIMPLEX

That is totally uncalled for!!! Let's keep it civil. Remember when you

Analog has more range? Maybe your location but not here D-Star has
proved it has more range, same site/antenna/hardline as analog. When it

I think you do .
It is a POOR ( CW ) operator Yes I know it is also used for phone too...
So unless he is on the air and your hearing him how can one call another a lid ?

Everyone in America does not live where highspeed internet access is
availabe. So that makes highspeed internet access worthless. I am going

this is becoming off topic for this group and isn't very productive. Please
end it. I you don't want to use dstar, don't. It's that simple but i think
there has been enough discussion already.

I agree. If you're not interested in D-Star, why waste the time of those who
are? Just go and do something else.
And you keep forgetting that America is not the whole world either. There's a
load of people outside your country who get very bored with US-centric
diatribes.

I work for the SO and we are ANALOG because MOTOROLA digital p25 does not have
as much range. all digital buys us is the ability to transmit data with voice.

It depends. I have witnessed many examples of D-STAR performing well
on RF paths where FM would have been marginal at beast.

Exactly. There's so much to do in ham radio that if D-STAR is not
your thing, there's a lot of other things to choose
from. Personally, I enjoy
receivers.
Our ANALOG repeater we have 4 of them run over 100 watts and the digital ones
will run the same.
That said the ANALOG system wil remain on the air..
