"My alinco is digital capable........" Ok, let's all do a full stop and think about what you just said...... What kind of digital capable is your alinco??? GMSK, APRS, D-Star, PSK-31, ect. ect. ect. Better yet, ALINCO DIGITAL digital capability... WHAT IS THAT? Yeasu digital, well we all know that refers to the WiRES II network (mock-IRLP) Let me state this and asked if this is true as your statement: My Motorola GM300 is digital capable. My ACER Monitor is digital capable. My Motorola MTS2000 is digital capable. MY ICOM is Digital capable when it has the GMSK modem installed. So explain what is so digital capable about the ALINCO's please. I do not see the relevance to your statement. I DO SEE that the alinco can do 9600 AX.25 digital, but the voice side???? I might as well spend the money on MOTOTuRBO....

My ALINCO is digital compatible how about ICOM getting with ALINCO and making a board ? --- On Wed, 5/5/10, John Hays <[email protected]> wrote: From: John Hays <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [DSTAR_DIGITAL] US D-STAR band planning and directories To: [email protected] Date: Wednesday, May 5, 2010, 12:14 PM And how many P25/MotoTurbo/ NXDN/D-STAR radio models are available for 223 mhz.? I think it is a great market for someone to build a 223 mhz. D-STAR radio and repeaters, and the home brew crowd can get there (Yahoo! gmsk_dv_node and pcrepeatercontrolle r) but until you have an "off the shelf" manufacturer it will never grow. Things change over time and people need to be adaptable.

They are different designs for different purposes. Hams are not a managed fleet like public safety systems. That being said, creating a 12.5 kHz. band plan in the portion of the REPEATER sub-band currently used for analog simplex would accommodate more than D-STAR. P25/MotoTurbo/ NXDN/D-STAR all fit into those slots nicely. John D.
