Interesting... sending to Illinois Digital, D-Star, and Repeater-Builder lists; Raytheon has a box that supposedly takes baseband audio from an analog repeater that has a P25 radio transmitting into it, and turns it back into analog...
http://www.jps.com/downloads/pdfs/P25CCfinal.pdf I'm sure the price tag is out of reach for most Amateur applications, but it's "here"... convert your old analog systems to P25 via a black box. I know folks were talking about how to do this, so figured it would be of interest to some. A little "competition" perhaps for D-Star, if it's significantly cheaper than buying a used Quantar... and I'm sure it'll get cheaper over time... Interesting stuff. Nate WY0X
