[aprssig] Did ICOM DSTAR ever take off ? can it be used for APRS ?

[Gerry Creager N5JXS]

It's been slow in reaching the masses.  There's a javAPRS varient for it 
now, and we're doing some other work with it.  Short form: It will work 
for APRS.

Long answer: Its utility will be determined as more folks get hardware 
and repeaters.

Icom's got a promotion available now for clubs: Buy 9 D-Star capable 
mobiles or handhelds and get a repeater.
