Not to mention on the Dstar repeater, all it is basically two mobiles mounted into a nice looking repeater case with a fan. This is typical for ICOM like there commercial gear as well. You run that repeater on high power and its going to have a melt down. You cant even get into the repeater service menu and adjust the power other than the high/low switch on the front.
It is my opinion and that does not mean a whole lot but P25 is deffinatly the way to go.

I also have a liking for MotoTrbo, but like D-Star, it is kinda proprietary since no one else makes radios for it .... oh well.
