I consider this an anoying trade-off and I no longer recommend this product. Currently I am avaluating AVG which has a similar feature, but so far it is very slow and inferior to the McAfee product... I continue to look for a replacement.

]]> Comment on First Impressions: iCOM-2200H / UT-118 D-Star Rig by Keith http://whatcomradio.wordpress.com/2008/02/29/123/#comment-24 Keith Sat, 29 Mar 2008 17:56:18 +0000 http://whatcomradio.wordpress.com/2008/02/29/123/#comment-24 Thank you for the very informative article. I was able to pick up a 5-month-old 2200H for a good price. At the time, I didn't know it was D-Star capable. I was reading up on the subject when I discovered I didn't have to buy a new radio-- I already had it! Enthusiasm was significantly diminished when I found out the UT-118 was almost twice the cost of the radio. What do they have in there, plutonium ICs?
