I'm not advocating for DSTAR. I don't own anything but a Kenwood TH-72A. I brought it up as an example of a widely used digital radio system that people seem to like and does get more than a mile or two of RF range. DSTAR was developed by Japan Amature Radio League, the protocol is open, the codac(AMBE) is closed. Hams have developed home brewed DSTAR equipment, repeaters, hotspots, radios, and dongles. They say RF range is simular to FM. I don't know. However DSTAR big selling point is the ability to talk to rest of the world on 2m/70cm.


I'm courious why the railroad digital radio test failed so badly. I didn't see any repeater, tower, or trunking mentioned. The mandate for narrow band is 2013, and digital is 2018 from looking around for railroad dates/info. This test failed miserability. Other digital radio systems seem to work. Why the difference?
