Dennis, You might not know about this, but all of that WON'T work in Texas either. For instance, if you have a government operated FAA Radar Site nearby, which uses 1295 MHz with a +/- 6-MHz bandwidth-- which MUST be protected by all AMATEURS in the area, any frequency near 1295 is definitely out. (We do here in my area.)
All of your other frequencies sound good! I like the 446.225 MHz much better than 441.000 MHz.

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. Dennis N5VRP San Antonio, Texas 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.* -- Regards, Dennis, N5VRP [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dstar User / Gateway Admin / D-PRS Provider(soon) ARRL Member Cactus-Intertie Member AMSAT Member, President's Club 73's from SATX, EL09rk [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
