    @cdirado no hes getting it threw the d-star band its a new feature to ham and is outside the standards but thankfully the fcc ignores it. ham has always been able to send data fax pics emails text normally around 9600 bud. d-star is that ability evolved able to go slightly above 56k speeds enough for a web browser. 75kbs isn’t much faster then dailup. its because d-star uses wifi on its own network to give you no range limits. as long as 1 tower is in range your worldwide.

    you can pick up the handheld for around 200$ i believe it has all the features as the base station model. they outlawed them in euro due to d-star not being withen the standerd ham rules. d-star is ham evolved and will attract a new gen of users. its sad the old men agenst d-star will only kill off ham as a hobby if they get there way in other country’s.
