I have not yet gone to D-Star, but am thinking about it. My ARC had a presentation on the system, so I am somewhat interested. We have a D-Star repeater here locally. I have a home in Tennessee, but there are no local D-Star repeaters. There is one 30 or so miles away. I have reached other repeaters 80 miles away with 5 watts, so the distance may not be an issue. The radio that I would be putting in to service for D-Star is the IC-2200h. My basic question (after all of that) is: Will a D-Star signal travel further than a phone signal, all things being equal? Thanks and 73.
