Wow, the FCC actually got it right for a change!
This petition was ill conceived from the start. Ironically, while
intended (I assume) to further the digital movement, it has somewhat
given it a black eye.
The idea that digital and analog do not co-exist well is an outright
misstatement. We are

Not sure how D-Star is being implemented in your area, so it's hard to
comment on your specific case.
However, as to band openings and Tropo, that is going to get
complaints whether the signal is analog or digital.
One thing analog systems really need to do, which in this day and age

This can be mitigated by "users" using tone squelch on their
individual radios, something that almost all modern radios have. The

I guess I rest my case here.
1.) If the propagation/Tropo is that bad, no reasonable co-channel
spacing is going to solve the problem.
2.) As I noted, CTCSS and/or DCS will not cure true interference. It
will however, keep the unwanted signal from activating the repeater
regardless of how strong
Evan, Buddy,
My apologies, I unintentionally referred to Buddy when in fact my
statements were intended for the other poster (Bruce), who made the
comments about forced tone squelch.
I do completely recognize that each area of the country can have its
own unique geographical (and weather) makeup,

Well, the KJ4ACN system just had our first co-channel interference complaint,
from an analog repeater trustee. It seems that there are some f
Tropo is a real problem here in Florida and tone encoding/decoding is not going
to solve it. The signal is still there interfering with any transmited signal.
Just lissen to 146.97 ( Largo ) when the band is open and you can hear at least
2 others under it squealing away. My machine ( back in th
Robert, Buddy is NOT against this as you have mentioned...
We have ham's 100 miles away, using an analog on the same frequency,
and our D-Star repeater is walking over their analog output
It has nothing to do with him accepting the new technology, he, like
myself, are pushing it full speed ah

This type of thing is the reason that Analog FM coordinations in our
area REQUIRE that the system have a working CTCSS decoder.
It doesn't hav

Oh this is too wonderful a thing to resist.
Coordination, coordinatio, coordination. First off.
Second: Turn the power down a notch on all the repeaters.
Third, look closer at the footprints of the repeaters before turnng on the
power switch.
Ideally every repeater owner wants to cover as much o

Yes, but when there's enhanced propagation there's nothing you can do
about it. It makes no sense to coordinate out interfernce resulting from
that. It makes sense to accept and take actions to mitigate the effects.

Agreed. There have been cases of propagation on 2m right across the
country here.
