[Dstar] Understanding DSTAR

[Andrew Rich]

Hello

I read that DSTAR interleaves data with voice, but what does it do during a voice TX ?

Does your voice get bundled up and packets of data flow during voice ?

Is the rate fast enough and the protocol good enough to send multiple "voice packets" on teh fly ?

Or does it just open one big packet for the duration the PTT is down ?

Station A ----> Station B <data voice data voice> EOT

or

Station A ----> Station B <data voice data voice> 
Station A ----> Station B <data voice data voice> 
Station A ----> Station B <data voice data voice> 
Station A ----> Station B <data voice data voice> EOT

Spose my question is , what is the payload length and what tells it to be that long ?

What is the delay through a repeater ? Does it decode and re-gen or just pass ?
