I have more fun with my TR2600A than I've had with any HT since 1970.

Yes.

I tried using the DCS once with a friend on simplex just to see
if it worked. It did. Never tried it through a repeater, but
a digital burst is sent both at the start AND the
end of the transmission, so if the opening burst didn't make it,
the closing one will.
