Donald, Maybe you don't need a repeater right away. Try simplex with your fellow Dstar hams. I've been working to promote simplex activity by having a simplex 'event' the second sunday of each month. We plan to kick this off on Aug 8,2010. See www.dstar-ssss.org for more info on the Second Sunday Simplex Society 73 Ted W1GRI

Bill, Lucky you! I envey you in that it sounds like your in a great community for a HAM! Unfortunatly where I am in north central New York I've given up on talking about it because its politly being shot down by most of the gys here. I get my radio tomorrow and I cant wait, I'll just keep the pleasure to myself while I talk to friends everywhere else. Best, Donald ~ N2VU
