<H1>D-STAR in PSR Journal </H1>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>The Spring issue of the PSR journal features an article
on D-STAR sensitivity by <STRONG>Mark Miller, N5RFX</STRONG>.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>The article concludes that D-STAR trades 2 dB of
sensitivity for a 17dB increase in nearly noise free reception over analog FM.
</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>However, when weak signal reception is necessary, the
analog signal will provide better performance.</FONT></P>
