I talked to the Kenwood rep and AA4RC at the Stone Mountain GA hamfestTODAY.

Also announced during the DSTAR Forum. Nothing on the internet as far as I
know.

It is a HT, a cross between the TH6 and TH72.

It will do DSTAR, FM and APRS, has a GPS built in like the TH72.

Tri band, 2m, 440 and 220.

Kenwood should release more info around Thanksgiving. Comes out in March
2016.

That's all I know.

Prices have dropped on ICOM DSTAR capable transceivers. 

51A+ $360  - A GREAT buy for such a capable HT. Color, Anniversary
Editions are much more. The + is the current one. 

880 $400 - Price went up a little

5100 $600 - Good buy for all the capability

7100 $1000 - FIRST time at below 1K ($999.95) 1/3 less than when they came
out

9100 $2500 - Not so much a drop

FLEX 6300 w/DV3000 card $2630 Unless you want to work Satellites at 100
watts SSB, the FLEX is a better buy. 

FLEX RADIO with their SDR software update 1.51 fully supports DSTAR with the
use of a DV3000 USB drive plugged into a 6000 series FLEX radio. Now to do
DSTAR on a FLEX, you just click on the mode DSTAR, just like USB, LSB, AM,
CW, etc. Works great, the waterfall display really helps finding spots on
DSTAR HF. WE now have two major radio manufacturers supporting DSTAR.
