Hi Gordon and GM from Texas,
I took a look at the English translation of the JARL site:
http://www.jarl.or.jp/English/0-2.htm and downloaded the JA Band Plan.
It looks to me like there are no 144 Mhz. repeater allocations - many
simplex, but no repeaters. This certainly does not rule out 2M

How many of you repeater owners have an active 1.2 DV repeater on the
air? Do you see any actual use?
I'm curious about this because, IMHO, 1.2 DV has very little to offer.
1.2 is strictly line of sight, and one really needs a high gain
antenna and expensive feedline for reliable work. Why oper
Hallo Peter,
Some of the folks in Atlanta, GA are using a 23cm preamp from SSB
Engineering http://www.ssbusa.com/ordering.html . There are several
different manufactures in the links section on this yahoo group.
I have not checked, but the gain figure sounds like isotropic gain and
is artificial
Thanks for the comments, Nate.
I'm just stirring the pot here for fun.
I see 1.2DV as nothing new, as I have many radios that reach repeaters
now...
I see 1.2DD as the real performance upgrade: My laptop goes plug and
play into my ham radio (ID-1), and now my laptop can reach a repeater,

John, I'm confused; by searching as you suggest, does that tell me if
the activity was DV or DD? How do you distinguish? Thanks!

1.2GHZ is the other D-Star band - many D-Star sites offer this
frequency both voice and DD Mode (128K Data)
Icom did make a Quad Band HT (I still Use it) for FM - the
IC-T81A Nice little HT the same size as the IC91 & IC92. It covers
50, 144, 440 and 1.2 bands in one neat package

identical coverage. Obstructions are problem for 23 cm. A brick wall can

Gene,
I personally don't know if it is reporting DD vs DV - but it does give
an indication that 23cm is being used.

On the W1KK system we recently upgraded the 23cm
duplexer to be a triplexer. And we've got a new
antenna and a couple of hundred feet of 1 5/8
that will be going up as soon as the WX permits.
With decent HAAT 23cm plays quite well ...
