The ARRL has done nothing to help d-star ot analog FM This sounds like the same thing that cost us the 220-222 mhz band all the fcc knew was the ARRL reppeater directory had no listing for that band so UPS wound up with it ...... D-Star needs to have a spot of its own as does the ECHOLINK stations not on analog frequencies but a spot for the digital modes.... There needs to be a listing of D-Star repeaters and simplex for that mode just like analog has had for thr last 40 years. If we keep showing empty spots on our bands someone else will find a way to fill them. The robots on 440 mhz should be a awaking for all of us .....

To: [email protected] Date: Tuesday, May 4, 2010, 2:36 PM I am also concerned about this. I just ordered the latest TravelPlus for Repeaters which hasn't been received yet and it sounds to me that it will not contain D-STAR repeater listings. That was the only reason I wanted it since I am now active on D-STAR. I know I can go to various websites and get the info which I have to manually enter the data rather than import it. I think the League missed here. In my opinion, they need to become more involved with D-STAR; not only listings but looking into new bandplans that will include them. D-STAR is here to stay. Embrace it. This may be something everyone of us involved with DV communication needs to make known to them at Dayton. Stop by their booth and let make them aware of this. I will. 73, Carl W8KRF Francis Miele wrote: according to dstarusers.org http://www.dstaruse rs.org/repeaters .php?repeatersor t=5 there a plenty Fran, W1FJM On Tue, May 4, 2010 at 1:16 PM, Kent Hufford <khuff...@atlanticbb .net> wrote: I just bought my new 2010-2011 ARRL Repeater Directory, even the "large print" version.
