Wouldnt a nextal be a bit easier to use?

@stonesharve It would also be easier to spell.

is d star only for Icom radio? or is it universal regardless of make? what about what police are using I come across old police radio witch I can program can they be used in d star? And what if I had a radio that is based at my home verses one that is in my car(s) will all of them receive in exclusive mode?

I would like these ham radio manufactures to produce something similar to the pocket PCs/ blackberries ect so that way we can produce our own mobile web.

@cmritchie04. Only ICOM makes off-the-shelf D-STAR equipment at this time. Other manufacturers can make it if they want to, and we hope some will. There are some accessories made by small companies or individuals, but not ready to operate radios. The police radios use "P-25" - similar to D-STAR but not compatible at all. As for Blackberry-style ham equipment - I think our market is too small for anyone to devote that much engineering to.

Cool Stuff i just cant justify $900.00 for a mobile rig to get into the D-star game

[KN4AQ]

The fairly new ID-880 is more like $550 (a dual-band, but one band at a time, mobile that I review in the January '10 QST). That's still a hefty premium for D-STAR compared to similar analog-only radios. So no question, you really do have to want to stroll out on the edge, and not everybody will.
