Worth the extra $$$ @ $369.99?

D-Star technology worth having or would I be better off with a simularly
priced handheld w/o the D-Star but other features instead?

That's a really hard call, and it depends lots on your answers to questions like
o Is there lots of D-star where you use your handhelds??
o Are you interested in using D-star?

I personally have no interest in it, but know hams who do. There's not much
build-out of D-star where I am, but some areas (e.g., Minneapolis and its
surrounds) have a fair amount.

I can't answer your question for you, but I hope this helps guide you to
your own answer.

D-Star value is somewhat subjective, but be certain to compare the
91AD with the 92AD. The 92 is something of a do over to fix poor
design choices in the 91.

Certainly a waste of my $$$
Most irratating flaw is that the volume knob is always getting
bumped and does not lock in position so often the rig is on
but no sound. You woud THINK after so many years of
making radios they could do a bit better on the interface to
people. Been a real pain in the can. I go for a scoping
next week ... maybe the Dr can remove that pain too. :)
