I don't know if Yaesu is still selling WIRES capable radios and I don't think Kenwood is marketing any 
digital systems but P25 has not been widely adopted by the amateur community.  What you are seeing is a 
broader and more rapid uptake of DSTAR than of any other digital system this in spite of Icomm currently 
being the only vender of DSTAR radios.

Hi;
Thanks for the dstar info.  I guess I haven't kept up to date on some
things.  Do kenwood and yaesu have their own versions of dstar?  If so, I
suppose they are incompatible with each other.  Looked at the review for the
ic92 and sounds like quite the complex little handheld.
I'm glad Ray is blazing the trail for the cowardly folks like me.
Richard
