<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><FONT size=3>With the ID-1 (23cm) radio – what stations are you talking to locally, either on DV or DD (if I may ask). Do you also have a repeater in <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Sydney</st1:place></st1:City> for that band / mode[s]. It’s just that over here in ZL, we will be looking at 23cm DV / DD shortly and curious as to your thoughts and experience with the ID-1 radio. I see it is rated for 10 watts output. It could easily be combined with a SSPA to 150 ~250 watts TX output, more so with directional antennas 23 dBI gain, for direct communication either with local or distance stations (100 to 200km direct) or to others via a local repeater. Many of us, over here in ZL are interested in learning more about D-Star and the radio’s itself. Maybe others may comment if they wish... </FONT></DIV>
