Just wondering if anybody on here has ventured into C4FM (Yaseu's System Fusion radio - a form of FSK digtial radio based upon P25).
Our local amateur radio club recently installed a new 70cm repeater that's dual analog and C4FM. I've seen several Yaesu radios that can do C4FM but they're on the pricey side. Just wondering if anybody has experience with them and can recommend a particular radio, or avoid one.
That said, I rarely use the HT ever since I got my IC-705 (which is D-STAR, so not compatable with those repeaters in digital
mode). I have a digital hotspot on a raspberry pi that I use from time to time, but I still have issues trying to find an
active room/reflector/channel/whatevertheycallit.
What do you think of the IC-705?
Regarding an active hotspot, try out HubNet -- various reflectors plug into it. Seems to get a decent amount of traffic!

So do you use your PiStar with D-Star right now? I'm not sure if I ever got mine to succesfully work... probably because I don't know anyone
else with D-Star and a PiStar :). I've used D-Star pretty much just
over simplex. There is at least one D-Star repeater near me but nobody ever talks on it. I'd like to get more familiar with using it with the hotspot.
