Just what I need, another mailing list to follow. I'm having enough trouble keeping up on my current subscriptions. >My understanding of it is this: For clarification, I don't have any D-Star equipment myself. My interest as a frequency coordinator is to make sure that new modes get the spectrum they need. W.r.t. the co-channel issue you raise, it clearly looks to me to be a design flaw in the protocol. I doubt that we would consider increasing the co-channel spacing for D-Star systems beyond that which is used for analog repeaters. In fact, I'd expect D-Star to be somewhat more tolerant of on-channel interference because of the error correction. Bob NO6B
