Comment on Could D-Star destroy ham radio? by PA1JIM

Hi Drew, you’re absolutely right about there is a mode for interest for all comers new. Seems like you have a pretty good D-star setup yourself. The fun part of personal blogs is you can put your personal opinion on them. I think Julian and me are doing just that. We don’t believe in the D-star model and hold on to the more traditional modes. But it is absolutely cool to hear your opinion too! Thanks for your comment!

Rick, cool! My Cobwebb antenna is finally up and running. Now I’ll be able to spot you on 14070. No luck so far. When do you operate most of the time?

it is clear to me that most of the postings relating to julians blog are from people who do not use or own dstar radios, and probably do not realise that the dstar system had to use a established codec source so it could be pushed through all the red tape concerning a world wide project..

i own and use my dstar radios on a reqular basis i also use it on analogue, as it can do both, for sstv aprs drm , i also use my private echolink node for other contacts as well as the d-star reflectors when things are a little quiet RF wise.

i have a private d-star gateway linked to the open dstar reflector ( a system that is not dependant on icom hardware) and is built around computer controlled analogue radio gear,and also i have a hybrid skype / RF remote link,
i also use the radio on a local net each thursday evening and here is the point, i am a RF data “freak” i love it and just cant get enough, and its that simple, the dstar audio is only better because it removes all the back ground noise from the transmission……. the point is its data, im not interested in working hf, im not interested in old valve rigs, And this is what makes amateur radio so good, there is a mode for all comers new and established, and long may it continue..
