  • Ben, check ebay for an Astro Saber or your local ham fests.

  • Yes the Astro Saber uses the IMBE vocoder. The Astro Saber has been around for over 10 years. P25 with AMBE+2 would be phase II. I do have access to a Mototrbo radio that uses AMBE+2... perhaps I can make some recordings of that.

  • AMBE has never been known for its voice quality.

  • It would have been interesting to have heard an analogue comparison as well.

  • Yes. DeathStar is such a dead end! :( P25 is the best option until codec2 is adopted by the ham comunity. .-.-.

  • Hi there, Ben, KØBLR here...I have a question. How does one aquire P25 gear could be used for P25 ops. I guess I like the DSTAR because a lot of the stuff is there can be had ver P25 in my opinion that one rreally has to hunt around where to find it? Please feel free to tell me I am wrong.

  • I have listened to far better P25 from radios being used next to Firetrucks, even right next to the pumps, that has to be the worst P25 I have ever heard. X<

  • well foe a 2 time the p25 did go to the end of the test and the d star did not make it all the way. i would go with the p25.

  • oh my good the wrost digital transmition that can hear in my life!!!!

  • wow i must say d star wins this 1. but i still love my vhf as3 and xts2500
