Hello everyone. My first post here, and I hope I'm not breaking the rules.
About 3 weeks ago, I purchased an Icom IC-2200H 2 meter mobile, with the D-Star module. I live in deep south Florida. I purchased it from Mike's Electronics, who donated a D-Star repeater to their local club. Unfortunately, the location they are using doesn't allow me to hit the repeater. The owner of the store and I discussed that possibility, but I decided to buy it anyway. Unfortunately, the owner has had a health problem, and has closed the store. I don't know if it will be temporary, or permanent, however I'm sure that he won't be able to reopen it until a couple of months from now, if not longer. Since I can't hit the only repeater around here, I've only been able to use the digital side with 2 other local hams, on simplex. The audio is great (I don't have to tell you that). But based on the above, I've decided that at this time, my best bet is to sell the rig, and get myself a DV Dongle. I think $275 plus shipping for it would be fair. It's in mint condition, has never been mobile, I have the box and everything else that came with it (less the UPC label). 73 de W4AS Sebastian
