Hello Jozef, Read the post. No where did I say I would give up HF in favour of D-Star, I said it's nice to have the option of either.
When I want to sit in the garden and have a beer and a chat with someone on the other side of the world D-Star is the way to go. When I want to work DX then I go to the shack, fire up HF, put down the beer and concentrate.
