We've been trying to co-channel D-Star with analog systems & it hasn't been working well. Kind of like trying to co-channel analog with packet. > D-Star is narrow bandwidth and for this reason see they can put more > repeaters in less space. > >A problem of say putting 2 D-Star repeaters on say one analog repeater >channel space with each D-Star next to one another would cause ajacent >interference for the 2 together would be wider. Correct. The only way to take advantage of D-Star's narrower bandwidth is to pack D-Star systems adjacent to each other. Bob NO6B
