<H1>More UK 2 metre D-STAR repeaters on-air </H1>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>2 metre D-STAR repeaters have been springing up across the
UK in recent days. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>First off the mark was GB7DG in Glasgow on 15th February
followed rapidly by GB7YD in Yorkshire, GM7MI in Manchester and GB7DE in Fife.
</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>D-STAR repeaters have already become well established in
the 70 cm band. The new 2 metre repeaters make D-STAR accessable to many more UK
Radio Amateurs. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>The offer by <STRONG>Icom UK</STRONG> of 2 metre or 70 cm
D-STAR repeaters for £1000 (ex. VAT) has undoubtably been a factor in the rapid
growth of the D-STAR repeater network. </FONT></P>
