[Elecraft] D-Star [End of thread]

[Eric Swartz WA6HHQ - Elecraft]

We're exceeding the OT posting volume limit on this one. (Over ten posts in about 2 hrs, wow..)

In the interest of reducing email list overload for those not interested in this topic, let's end the thread for now. In general ham radio policy topics are best debated on other lists and forums.

Oh, and by the way, we do not have plans to add D-Star capability to the K3 or KX3 any time soon.
