Amateur Radio ‘Uniquely Situated’ to Be at Leading Edge, Conferees Told:

The dawn of so-called “smart” — or cognitive — radio has presented
Amateur Radio with an opportunity to regain the leading edge in radio
technology in the near future. It will also alter our view of spectrum
as a limited resource. Those points and others were part of a
forward-looking, tag-team Sunday Seminar presentation, “Spectrum (It’s
the frequency crunch for real),” by Michelle Thompson, W5NYV, and Bob
McGwier, N4HY, at the 2016 ARRL and TAPR Digital Communications
Conference (DCC
http://ift.tt/2fp5Fwi), September 16-18 in
St. Petersburg, Florida.

What are your thoughts on D-STAR radios like the ICOM ID-51a plus?

I’m just getting started with amateur radio (general license) and am not really interested in building my own stuff. I just want to get a nice portable radio to make contacts with and listen in on others – near and far. I have some extra money to spend, and I heard good things about the ICOM ID-51a plus and D-STAR. After watching some videos it seems pretty easy to connect to repeaters all over. What are your thoughts on this radio and D-STAR in general? I have a Baofeng UV82 but the range on it doesn’t seem that amazing and I’d really love to reach out all over the world.
