"To help the believer "  :-)

 Either you have not used Dstar before or have not used it
in a long time.

Have your tried to send a picture with Dstar??

Have you chatted voice and text as the same time??

Have you tried to surf the web with DStar.

Have you used DRats for Emergencies, trainings or other exercises ???


 Just to mention a few things that add to the enhancement of the
radio art!!!!!!
