Will there be any talk about the new D-star stuff?

Re: Is Ham Radio right for you?

I mention digital radio in a few slides.

I don't particularly like D-star because the audio quality is lacking compared to something like APCO P25.

It is a standard meant to be used for ham so they could of used 16kHz channel width or even 12 kHz. But there isn't a lot you can do in 6 kHz that sounds good.

And for the record: if you've never been part of a flux talk, you owe it to yourself to go. Even if the topic doesn't interest you. Dude has skills. And he often smells like diesel fuel. Which is nice.
