I kind of feel D-Star is getting crammed down our throats whether we like it or not...I like the idea of digital communications but could do without the Registered TM/Royalties Fees that come with D-Star and would like to see an open source Digital Voice Option take the lead over a proprietary one...


The technology (D-Star) requires the use of a proprietary AMBE Codec that is owned by Digital Voice Systems, Inc.


I still like to see the equipment and the technology involved....thank you for the information!
