Some of the concerns are addressed in this posting: <http://k7ve.org/blog/2007/07/d-star-repeater-audio-linking/>
Basically, D-STAR is by far the most developed and deployed Amateur Radio specific true digital voice and data network out there (We see a few P25, MotoTrbo, and NXDN/IDas systems on Amateur Radio, but none with the network of D-STAR -- see http://dstarusers.org). Mototrbo, P25, etc. just doesn't provide amateur oriented radios at amateur oriented price points. But these are probably topics for other lists. --- In [email protected], <k7...@...> wrote: > > Why not just install a Motorola Mototrbo XPR8300 repeater and call it done. > If you want to have data on one port and voice on the other you can or for a > single site you can add the mix mode option and have digital and analog in > the same repeater.
