I'm running a hybrid - an early Satoshi board with PA4YBR firmware. The firmware has been superb with DVAR Hotspot, and when I get things sorted out here, I'm keen to add D-STAR frequencies to my repeater licence and run NI Star. This is especially significant where I am now, as there is very limited D-STAR availability here (base station only access to VK3RMM is about it). A local repeater or two would be very welcome. 73 de VK3JED / VK3IRL http://vkradio.com
