Re: D-Star
DStar is a mode that you can "roll your own" if you want to experiment, or buy commercial equipment. I own P25, DMR, dPMR, and other digital radios. None of them "win" over the other, just all bring something to the table to play and experiment with as a hobbyist. Please do not get sucked into the d...

HackADay $70 Echolink Node
Byte Banditos, Here's a pretty interesting project from HackADay that integrates a Raspberry Pi and a Baofeng 888S transceiver into an Echolink Node. Instead of the 888S, a UV5x, or other transceiver could be adapted. SVXLink is a Linux port of EchoLink that would run over Wheezy Raspian and an inte...
Re: D-Star
I will have to say that repeater usage is lower across the board. not just digital by any stripe. Mesquite used to have a lively drive time, but that has died.

Re: QRP portable power

Tavern?
How about a tavern for general/non amateur radio discussions? Same rules, just non amateur discussions with no ad hominem or rudeness.
