Oh.  Yuck.  The same crap as Linksys calling 6 different pieces of 
hardware a "WRT54GS".  Great.

The harder part is how would you route to the P25 machine?  There's 
nothing (in reasonable price ranges, or that isn't 
manufacturer-proprietary) to link P25 machines via IP yet.

D-STAR has P25 soundly whipped in this regard, even if the Icom Gateway 
is "klunky"...

And if development continues, P25 Amateur won't catch up anytime soon.
