Yes, simplex D-STAR works well. Just set the following: UR CQCQCQ R1 and R2 are left blank. That's how I first used D-STAR, because I bought my radio before there were any gateways in the area, and there was quite a bit of local simplex activity. Oh, and the DVC Dongle didn't exist, that came along later too (and yes I bought one). 73 de VK3JED / VK3IRL http://vkradio.com
