IDs in the US are, as well as I can remember, required once every 10 minutes and at the end of a conversation. There is absolutely nothing that say that I can't get on the radio and call you by saying "Hey Matthew are you there" and then after we've been talking 10 minutes, adding my callsign.

Hi Jack, That doesn't help Ray out, he can't read the manual. Steven posted 4th key from the left on the bottom row, but said it was the asterisk. the 4th key from the left bottom row for me is the pound key, which is also marked t.scan. 4th key from the left on the top row is the asterisk.

Contextually correct, since pretty much everyone is running Internet Protocol (IP) over their ID-1s. However, D-STAR DD is actually Ethernet packets and Ethernet packets may encapsulate a variety of protocols including IP, IPX, Ethertalk, XNS, Decnet, Apollo Domain, ... see http://www.cavebear

This is really a question of bandwidth. The D-STAR Digital Voice system was designed to fit in a 6.25 kHz. bandwidth. Under the chosen GMSK modulation that allows 4800 bps of data to pass over the "channel" - the DV specification calls for this to be split between 2400 bps for voice encoding,
