Re: Nice DStar is cool technology. I thought about using it as part of my counties Winlink deployment (www.winlink.org), however it would eat a big chuck of my ARES/RACES budget, best bang for the buck was the 1.2ghz radios, but that is short range line of site and in my hilly terrain would require microwave links.. too complicated to the KISS environment you try to work with in during an emergency or disaster.. so I went with a TS-2000 and Pactor 3 which will allow my group to stay in touch via e-mail to the outside world with an RF link 600 - 700 miles away to a PMBO in Nova Scotia. I think I would be better off setting up wireless G on Steroid's than DStar from a cost effective perspective.
