I don't know much about D-star so I am trying learn all I can about. I think my equipment would like this:
FT-897D HF FT-100 Red Cross (If needed) *** ID-880 Digital/Analog VHF/UHF ID-880 Digital/Analog VHF/UHF IC-2820 Dual band D-star capable VX-8R (3) Analog Radios ID-92AD (3) Digital/Analog I would power it up with 55AH batteries. ________________________________ From: john_ke5c <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, July 8, 2009 10:19:42 AM Subject: [DSTAR_DIGITAL] Re: new to the group > Only you can really answer your question, but let me pose a question for > you to think about.
