Which brings up the question of why 144/440 is all that's
commercially available for D-STAR use, given the crowding in the 144
band and now, apparently, in the 440 band. Digital voice cell phones
are operating successfully in bands near the 33cm and 23cm bands,
but apparently the only amateur radios using those bands are
homebrews.
Non-Homebrew 23cm amateur radios:
Icom ID-1 for FM/D-STAR (Mobile)
Icom IC-9100 All Mode including D-STAR DV (Base - release this year)
Alinco DJ-G7 FM (Handheld)
Kenwood TS-2000X All Mode (Base)
