<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The UPS guy just delivered my new Icom
DSTAR radio, and I was wanting to play with it. So the question is,
are there any DSTAR frequencies or frequency pairs in Eastern Iowa? I
tried a web search to find standard simplex calling frequencies, but nothing
found for Iowa. It seems to be more prevalent down south, TX, Alabama
& so forth. I am totally new to DSTAR, still trying to figure
it out.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Anybody have any ideas or suggestions?
At this point, I can do simplex, but since there is no defined channel
for that, it is kind of a guess.</font>

<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I ordered the ID-880H, (144/440 moblie
rig) it shares the same packet jacks as my IC706, and the programming cable
is the same as Icom handhelds, so if nothing else, it will be put into
service as a APRS rig for me. </font>
