[Dstar] IC2200H operating tips.

[Heath - VK3TWO]

My tip is to sell it and buy a 2820! The user experience is worlds apart. I
have a 2200 but don't use it since i purchased the 2820 - They are
fantastic. a lot more expensive, but worth every penny for added features
and ease of use. Everything is there infront of you, not behind the menu's.
It's a good 'limited budget' rig, but a poor 'entry level' to DSTAR.

If you have any specific questions, I may be able to help when i get home in
a week or so.
