[OZAPRS] IC-2820h

[Darryl Smith]

Simply put they do not do APRS according to the Web Sites I have seen.
They
do D-PRS, which is based on the D-STAR protocol. My recommendation is that
there are no members on this list who should be touching a D-STAR radio,
me
included.

D-STAR is *NOT* Amateur Radio. D-Star is Professional Radio for people
using
Amateur Radio frequencies. It is designed for the NGO market - that is,
the
Red Cross. It is designed to be a radio that can provide advanced
capabilities regardless of cost for organizations who use ham frequencies
mostly for emergency type use. There have been reports about Icom wanting
to
release the D-Star range in this country. This might be the first D-Star
compatible radio released here...
