Actually, it is a goal, and part of the success, of the open source SDR groups, that things are not done the way of the rest of the planet. There is plenty of room for those who, for example, wish recoup their investment in a proprietary CoDec and want to require everything to pass through it.

I think we hold our nose and realize we are going to be interoperable with P25 services of first responders Unfortunately, D-Star is not compatible or interoperable with P25. The AMBE codec that is used for D-Star (almost always the AMBE-2020) will not decode P25 IMBE encoded transmissions.

I'd like to know if the forthcoming vhf/uhf add-on for the 5000 will support repeater operation and if so, how will pl tones be implemented. Also, are there thoughts about using the new add-on with the digital modes such as D-star, APRS, etc. Thanks very much Jim KD7GND

One could certainly do it, but is it not the start of the path to madness? Imagine if you needed a dongle for PSK31, one for RTTY, one for WSJT etc. Personally I'd rather to see the SDR community advance the Free (as in freedom) state of the art than support solutions that are implemented
