does anyone know of any comprehensive articles on D star from users?
not just the advertizing crap that is put out by the manufacturer or

I get the basic premise, the digital incoding of your voice, which is
then sent out and received by another digital radio which is then
decoded into voice...with some obvious handhsake senarios going on in
between.
