Granted, there could be other reasons, but something\n> is apparently keeping other manufacturers from building these radios.\n> This means that essentially we are in a single source situation, where\n> we can expect D-Star to remain fairly expensive. Indeed, the codec\n> chip costs $20, but we see the price differential for these radios to\n> be well over $100, even on an HT which is fairly expensive to begin\n> with. That's a pretty high markup. (IC-91AD is $524, IC-91A is $408\n> at universal radio). The UT-118 to do an upgrade is $189. The DV-\n> Dongle is $200.\n\n D-STAR radio needs not only the AMBE codec chip but also linear codec, GMSK\nmodem chip and control cpu. (see\nhttp://d-star.dyndns.org/IC-2200H/IC-2200H052.jpg UT-115 is same as UT-118.)\nSo, I think D-STAR rig is over $100 higher than normal analog rig, (Analog\npart of D-STAR rig is same as normal analog rig.)\n\nSatoshi Yasuda 7m3tjz/ad6gz \n\n\n", "attachments": [] }
