I'm new to the hobby please excuse me if the questions is silly
I have a dual band DVMEGA
Can I run the DVMEGA in Duplex? The issues is that I can't do a RF command while someone is talking. Is this a normal behavior of Simplex?
An example is if I'm listening to REF1C and someone is chatting away and I'd like to move on, I can't change while they are speaking.

John, as I understand it, that's the way the DSTAR system works. It doesn't matter if you are using a DV Mega or working directly through a repeater - hence the need for people to leave a gap between transmissions, suggested as 4 seconds. However, you can use the ircddbremote app on your phone or iPad to disconnect whilst somebody is talking. www.pa7lim.nl/ircddbremote/
