Dstar HF is great, either your in or your out. I wish more people would use it when the bands are up. I heard stations from all over the world when Dstar HF first started but it doesnt seem to want to take off. I wish it would, I love it.
Being another IC-705 owner, I think I might give this a try myself... 🙂 Thanks for posting this; are the frequencies shown the normal ones for D-star activity? 73, Tom WA1LBK
@@KI4ASK Just ran across your video here! I was frustrated using 10w on the 705 and now have a Juma PA100-D amp. It gives up to 125W output and works great! 73 DE WA5RR
@@KI4ASK I've seen a Codan Envoy using a digital voice mode once (in use by an international organisation in non-amateur environment) after SSB was unintelligible. I'm not sure if it was TWELP or MELPe, but the digital mode worked well in that situation. I was hoping FreeDV is useful for those situations as well...

It sounds like ass
That’s the most stations I’ve ever heard. Very nice!
Well I’ll be damned! This is cool! I’ll have to give this a whirl!
Thanks for the video, W5MHG out of Albuquerque
Tks for the video. Will give this a try with my 705. 73 K0WET
I have yet to play with D star. I need to learn this.
I'd love to try and work you on 40 or 75 meters with my IC-9100

Yes. It’s a fun net give it a try
That website wants a login when I enter my call. How do apply for a login?
You should be able to enter in your callsign and click on the Login button. No password or registration needed, it should take you right in.
Joe I think you need an amp with the 705 :-)
As much as I enjoy QRP, I’m not opposed to the thought of add an amp to the 705. Any recommendations?

I have a 7100 for mobile I need to try this
I just got an IC-7100 & want to try this.
What is the weak signal performance?
I personally think SSB is better for weak signal.

Why didn't they put it on the IC-7300?
I don't know. It would've been nice to have VHF and UHF as well (like the IC-7100).
That could get annoying really quickly. All the microphone eating and mush-mouth speed-talking is too much.
🤣to each his own, I suppose
