[arm-allstar] has anybody bridged dstar to allstar and how?

[Matthew Pitts]

I would like to point out that the specifications for both are available and in the case of D-STAR there are functional options that can be used with any radio to create both a repeater and an end user radio, plus there are other radios in development that will support it. I will also point out that some folks take the "experimentation" part of ham radio seriously and that we accept that not everyone will want to use our systems because of that.
