Earl, if you want true high speed data, such as 128 kb/s, you might want to
consider the ICOM D-Star ID-1 radio. Also, you can transmit slow speed data
(2.4 kb/s) simultaneously with AMBE 2020 digital voice on their newsest
digital voice radios that operate on 2M/440. You can see these new digital
voice (AMBE 2020) on their ICOM Japan site, but they are rumored to be
introduced at this years Dayton (the ID-1 D-Star will be here sooner).

If you want to drewl over the ICOM digital voice AMBE 2020 radio, check it
out at http://www.icom.co.jp/world/products/amateur/index.htm
Click on the ICOM IC-2200H.
They are apparently launching the VHF radio first, with 2M/440 to follow.
If you want 128 kb/s data, then you need the 1.2 GHz D-STAR ID-1, since the
only way to get the available bandwidth in the US is at 1.2 GHz.
Enjoy!

From some of the price listings I've seen its out of reach for most,
especially myself!!
The system does look impressive though.

My first cellphone was a Motorola DynaTAC 8000 portable, which cost me
$4,200 in 1983 (which would be around $5,400 in 2004 dollarts). First
adopters pay through the nose, to be sure.
My understanding is that the AMBE 2020 Icom radios on the 2M/440 bands will
be comparably priced with their current analog FM gear. It's the high speed
128 kb/s stuff at 1.2 GHz that is so pricey. If you can live with AMBE and
simultaneous 2400 bps data, they are suppoosed to be priced about the same
as today's present analog FM radios.
I guess the proof will be in the puding!
