If you want a "fair" test, find a P25 machine and barrow a radio. The
P25 machines have the ability to do mixed mode (that is conventional FM
and digital) and would be a better machine to compare digital versus
analog on the same frequency using the same infrastructure.

No, D-Star does not automatically switch between analog and digital.
You have to have one channel set up for analog and then if you want to
do digital on the same frequency, you have to set up a digital channel.

All right folks,
For those that run a 220 repeater, what are you running as far as the
machine itself?
A local group is looking to put a 220 MHz repeater on the air and

So it look like the general recommendation is a converted GE or Micor.

I would recommend replacing all of the caps and inspecting all of the
traces around the caps to ensure none have failed due to a leaking
cap. After that I would see what you get for error codes and if fail

Most if not all P25 radios (both portable and mobile) have the ability
to do analog and digital communications from the same radio. While
most can receive both analog and digital communications on the same
channel if set up for mixed mode use, I am unaware of any that can
transmit on both
Nate,
Nice way to demo the concept without actually putting anyone at risk.
