Thanks for all your comments. I think what I am going to do is buy
either another v8000 (that is what I have in the other pickup) or a 2200
without the digital board for the little pickup then get an 880 for a
base station when we get moved this summer.

Don't do it!
The 2200 with the DV card in it is still brain dead. Just a handful of
channels. Save your money and buy the 880! Or plan to end up selling
the 2200!

digital board is about $200
much more.

The 880 has free programing software. And is 3rd generation Dstar.

Don,
My personal recommendation is based on the following;
Do you seriously plan to get into D-Star or do you wish to just 'test the
waters'?
One thing you should consider...are you within reach of a D-Star repeater
stack? If not, then consider a DV Dongle for around $200 and
I'd strongly suggest spending the extra money up front and getting the 880.
In your area near San Jose, there are several D-STAR systems listed in the
Dstarusers.org repeater directory, most of which have a 70cm repeater in
addition to 2m and 23cm, and some that are solely 70cm in California.
for much more
money.

Ah, well, welcome to Missouri (I'm on the Kansas side in the KC area). With
a base antenna, you could probably reach the W0OMD system which is about 30
miles SE of Springfield, MO. It is currently 2m only, but has pretty good
coverage so it might be accessible when mobile from that far out.

when funds are available.
I'll add my voice to the chorus, and I concur with the general
consensus. Of the two radios mentioned, definitely put down the
extra money and go for the 880.
