So all will know I started this by sending an email to the ARRL.
This email has made it now all the way to the Texas VHF/UHF Society
and it looks like around the U.S.
My proposal for *Texas Dstar Simplex Frequencies* are the following:
2m 145.670 Dstar National Calling Frequency
145.470 Dstar Alternate Voice/Data Frequency
145.270 Dstar Data Frequency (Local/Mobile Remote
Repeater)
70cm 446.225 Dstar Simplex Calling Frequency (not National due to
conficts In other states)
446.250 Dstar Alternate Voice/Data Frequency
446.300 Dstar Data Frequency (Local/Mobile Remote
Repeater)
23cm 1294.250 Dstar National Calling Frequency
1294.300 Dstar Alternate Voice/Data Frequency
1294.350 Dstar Data Frequency (Local/Mobile Remote
Repeater)
Local/Mobile Remote Repeater is for Dstar Dchat/D-rats/Dcomms Events or
Experimental.
Keep in mind this will work in Texas, but maybe other states it may not.
Repeater linking, offsets, etc. are different from state-to-state.
Keep in mind we are talking *SIMPLEX* modes here.

I have DV/DD modes working well at *500 milliwatts* across town 15-20 miles
no problem.
It is reliable even with intermodulation interference. More testing to do.
Using D-rats/D*Chat.
*KEEP in MIND Emergency Traffic may want to include more allocations in
certain bands.*
