I wanted to thank everyone for the very kind feedback about whether D-Star would be the death. So many of you offered me help in a number of ways, thank you and I'm sure I'll be taking you up on it. I bought my 880 the other day at HRO in NH, and the gentleman I worked with was great, so very knowledgeable about everything radio & D-Star. I haven't put her on the air as of yet but hope to today or tomorrow. I look forward to D-Star & also to the Boxboro Con next week.
