          pointing out that the current VHF/UHF digital modes IMHO stink

          <div>Sorry Doug. I thought I was asking a technical question
            not a political question. I have heard dstar repeaters with
            good and bad audio as well. the allstar codec seems to be
            one of the best however there are some nodes with there
            levels way off and sound awful. anyway I was asking from a
            tech side not a political side. I did not realize this was a
            sensitive topic</div>
