I agree we do need to start watching this and see how it goes.  I suspect Kenwood may be the only  company 
which makes any effort to make their possible future dstar product lines accessible.  now there has been a 
dongle which will allow one to access the network via your broadband connection without an RF access point 
so that may be an option some of you may be able to consider but in my opinion that takes the radio out of 
it.

    Congrats, Ray, and keepus posted.

D-star is probably something we're all going to have to look for in the
future.
