Glad to hear they like the 8800. As far as D-Star, like digital TV, it's either there or not. It's not like you can pick the signal up out of the noise or hear it when it's 4X3. However, when it is there, it's like talking to someone right next to you. We have a few D-repeaters here, but not too many. I wonder what it would play like with a horizontal Yagi during a 2meter band opening?
