I think Mike hit the nail on the head with this statement. I wonder just how many people look at DStar and get intimidated at the complexity. It’s so much easier to just dial in a frequency and key up their mic instead of trying to figure out call sign routing, registration, reflectors, linking, etc.
I am still as you put it, drinking from the fire hose and taking everything in before I decide on a path be it getting a DV Dongle or a radio to access the local gateway. But for me half of the fun is being able to expand my horizons by learning something new in this hobby of ours. 73 de Jeff VE6EFR From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: July-29-10 1:23 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [DSTAR_DIGITAL] Registering a Node Adapter I'm thankful that there are guys like you and Dave (and others) who have already beat their way through the tall grass and are willing to give the rest of us a hand. I'm embarking on this venture to learn, but there's a difference between learning-by-doing and beating one's head against the wall, and I'm hoping to avoid the latter!
