D-STAR demo : Icom ID-92AD v. Kenwood TH-F6A

The Icom IC-92AD (left) is receiving and encoding the digital signal whereas the Kenwood TH-F6A (right) is an analog radio and not able to encode the digital signal - thus the white noise.

I think this might confuse the viewer with the dual audio. The white noise that is in the back ground is from the Kenwood radio as it can not decode the D-STAR signal. On FM a D-STAR signal sounds like White Noise. A real D-STAR signal will sound like a Cell Phone, crystal clear.

Hi N2KTO, yes you are correct. In this video, I should have turned the volume down on the Kenwood radio to show what D-STAR sounds like on the Icom, then turn the Icom audio down to show what it sounds like on the Kenwood radio. Thank you for your comment!

When I buy a D-Star radio, I pay an extra $300 for a complicated radio that can access a handful of digital-only repeaters. In North Centralm Ohio, D-Star is being pushed sooo hard by a few fanatics that it's become a real turn-off. I'll take the Kenwood over the Icom any day.
