Ummm ... my "expanded" IC-91AD works just fine on D-STAR. I'm not aware of any difference in the two HT's in that regard.
For the benefit of the OM originally asking about the differences, I offer the following. AFAIK, what the IC-92AD offers over the IC-91AD is IPX7 protection, two more intermediate power levels, another choice in the voice record function (10 x 3 as well as 2 x 15 seconds), a slightly larger case, ~ $145 additional street price and the option to add a rather expensive GPS capable speaker/mic. I'm happy with my IC-91AD and don't expect to move to an IC-92AD for a while, if ever. Yes, the IC-91AD can get warm (hot) when used for extended QSO, which I don't do. With the repeater coverage we have in Arizona, I seldom have to use high power anyway; low power and a gain duck normally works fine. The next HT I plan to add to my collection of many will be a Yaesu VX-8, if they ever get here. 73 de Dennis KD7CAC [ed note - the first IC91 did not have dstar without the added module - hence 91AD. - sb] On Oct 11, 2008, at 12:18 PM, david399792 wrote: > If you want DSTAR then the 92 is a no brainer over an expanded 91.
