This Yahoo Group is for users of the the D-Star Reflector REF014. REF014 has three channels. The purpose of the D-Star reflector is to provide a meeting place for the ARRL Pacific Division. The use of three channels is defined. Channel A is intended for linking and forum type discusions on 1.2 GHz DV repeaters and Digital Data transmission. Channel B was selected for ARRL Pacific Divison Emcom nets and recovery operations. Channel C is for QSO within the Pacific Division and visitors. Channel B was selected for Emcom command and control.

The Pacific Division D-Star ARES Net is held on Channel B every Thursday at 1830 Pacific Time.
