The DV4Mini's are okay, but the real fun power comes with the DVMega. The
DV4Mini's seem to bee too cranky for me. I wrote a few python scripts for the
DVMega's that allows you to connect a USB GPS unit to the Raspberry PI and then
beacon your location out APRS network. This is something you can't do with the
DV4Mini that I know of.

In general it's been really interesting to see how much the digial mode has
sparked interest in hams to start experimenting again which is a nice change.
Then again there are some that don't want to embrase it either and just want to
do their thing. To each their own I say. :)

My two cents...
.... The number you have dailed...Nine-one-one...has been changed.
