Still no three-band mobile or handheld. Have to go with Kenwood TM-741 and Satoshi's DV Adapter then to be able to talk D-STAR on all three bands. Erik

Hi Gordon and GM from Texas, I took a look at the English translation of the JARL site: http://www.jarl.or.jp/English/0-2.htm and downloaded the JA Band Plan. It looks to me like there are no 144 Mhz. repeater allocations - many simplex, but no repeaters. This certainly does not rule out 2M

Larry, It is 2m, 70cm, 1.2ghz A full D-STAR Stack will operate on the 144MHz, 440MHz, and 1.2GHz bands. Note below that if you have 1.2 GHz you actually have a DV Repeater and a DD Repeater in addition to the VHF and UHF repeater. Yeah 1.2GHZ is actually UHF but we don't refer to it
