Yes, there has been quiet a hefty discussion about this in the D-STAR 
mailing-lists.

Actually, the documents that yaesu has made public sofar actually talk 
of two different systems they will bring out: one "TDMA" (using 12.5 Khz 
bandwidth) and one "FDMA" (using 6.25 Khz bandwidth).

Althou other information has not been given, the general idea is that 
the TDMA system is DMR; which is a ETSI standard TS 10236101 up to 
10236104; which is sold with the commercial name "MOTOTRBO".
For the FDMA, the name that pops up most is P-25 (also known as 
APCO-25). Another option would be ETSI dPMR (TS 102 490 and TS 102 658). 
I would prefer the latter as that is open and better suited for ham use 
(no TDMA, much simpler, less bandwidth, no distance limit due to TDMA); 
but I fear that will not the one. The main driver in the dPMR-forum is 
actually i-com.


For the rest, let's wait and see what they show at hamvention.
