Its 14% over here, and 5$ admin if sent through national postal services, or 25/30$ for private carriers. Suck it up. Or commit fraud, your call.

I pay no Customs duty on goods from the USA, thanks to the FTA.

Unless they changed the law. They had all kinds of bullshit bills in progress that did and didn't get passed like allowing crypto up to 40 bits for ecommerce and whatnot, but I've stopped keeping track of the pathetic situation there.

Nope. You can only run crypto for communications with a permit, which for all intents and purposes can't be obtained.

Those rules are only for the people.

Only in France (no crypto at all for anyone there, but who care about that shithole.) I guess they don't have DVDs, Blu-Rays, or WEP/WPA on their wifi, then. :baby: Don't know about the DVDs, but yeah, no WEP/WPA (on any of the three channels they can legally use.

"In theory..." If a guy had access to all the right tools would it be possible to put a larger memory chip in a 3K and expand it to 8 megs or whatever? Would it even be able to address the extra memory? Reading this thread made me curious about that. No. The address lines for larger ICs aren't pres...

Why do hammies feel the need to label their repeaters? Putting the callsign, input/output freqencies, and the pl on the front of the repeater is just gay. Nobody cares! http://metro-uhf.org/repeaters/hoodroad/crop/repeater-with-PA.html I thought that was a requirement at the larger shared sites, so...

Japanese cops have been running digital nationwide for a very long time now. D-STAR, P25, or something else? If at all possible, I was wanting to take at least one radio to listen in with when I go in early 2009. Some funky CVSD system on specially made radios, IIRC. I'm trying to find the site whe...

Why??? ICOM is charging $500+ for D-Star, whats the difference?? Not a damn thing, they have to pay DVSI for the AMBE codec for D-Star just like they are paying for the IMBE codec for P25. Since both are open protocols, how much would it cost to put both codecs on the same board and have a radio th...

One dude here on the board got his ticket when he was 6 (tvsjr?)

Speaking of D-Star, what's with the bullshit design of Icom's 23cm repeaters? They should build that gear like a microwave system (seeing as that's what it is, L-band microwave), with an IDU containing the smarts, and an ODU consisting of a block up/down convertor and power amplifier mounted right n...

It's like trying to teach a cat to pour beers

Just run SECURENET, and if they bitch, tell them it's FED-STD-1023 digital voice in the clear

Check the firmware version really carefully. More than a few asshats have been known to shove a whoreflash codeplug into a piece of shit VSELP or analog radio, and tell people it's IMBE capable.

That won't happen.

The vocoder is largely irrelevant to whether the repeater will repeat it, unless it actually contains vocoding capability. The modulation, frame formats, FEC etc are what you need to worry about, and between P25 CAI, these are incompatible. Sometimes you can get close enough for it to not matter, e...

Sweet. Most Icom software has that maker reserve feature, that does various things on different radios (mostly boring shit on the radios I've had.) I came very close to buying an IC-F80DT, but I couldn't find anyone who could tell me whether the 400-470 model would go up to 477 (an essential feature...

The market for a dual mode P25 / D-Star radio is small to nonexistent. It won't happen.

Best price I've seen on their P25 one is only a couple hundred bucks less than an XTS 2500, not including software, cables etc.

Given a choice, I'd spend that extra few hundred for the XTS.

Looks pretty interesting.

6.25KHz digital with an expansion board. AMBE?

Try putting a fat ass capacitor on that fan's power lines, to smooth the noise out a bit.

Not so much a slam against TAIT intended, more so to the NB government for not wanting to take advantage of an already exisiting SmartZone Omnilink system which merely has to be expanded into the province, not built from the ground up.

Nothing wrong with Tait equipment. They're kicking Motorola's arses from wall to wall in this great brown land.

MPT-1327 is gay compared to Smartzone or P25, though.
