dstar_digital : Message: Pipe Dream: D-Star for iPhone/Android

I use Echolink for iPhone occasionally. A really solid app in a tiny footprint.

I think I know the answer to this: but is it possible that, with some work,
D-Star might be workable on iPhone and Android platforms? IP is IP, afterall,
and if Echolink can do it, perhaps D-Star might, too?

Thanks for that Diagram; the notion of a "remote community dongle" at the receiver/repeater is closest to what I'm imagining. Interesting thread! David, KC2WNW...
