Hi Terry, I know that it's very hard to find detailed information on all these things about ICOM's gateway usage and repeater systems. Some information is for...
Morning Louis, and others.... Let me start off with the following item that caught my eye while working on K1XC this morning while trying to figure out what is...
I would suggest using Brian Roode's Backup script, as it has been tested to restore and backup and upgrade failed gateways. ...

Enter your vote today! A new poll has been created for the dstar_digital group: D-Star growth has benefited significantly from Homeland Security money for...
The IC-80AD HT and the ID-880H are still pretty new. The DVAP is great for easily setting up an access point in your shack or hotel room while travelling. I...
... Can I have an "It depends on the situation" box? I don't believe you can definitively say that D-STAR will perform better or worse than analog on the...
Tony, I agree. Each situation is so vastly different that no one can say with any certainty a mode will out preform another. We need all of the ammunition that...
... I agree 100% Don. We should become well versed in as diverse a range of options as we can. Our greatest strengths are diversity (as in having a lot of...
... After considerable experience on D-Star nets, both via dplus links and Icom's multiplex facility, and in callsign routed QSO's, I am of the distinct...
... IRLP and Echolink are quite reliable for wide area nets. I use them all the time. D-STAR works reasonably well down here, though I do hear the occasional...
We have done parachute mobile using DSTAR in 2009, but for this recent event we used analog FM on 2M to accommodate the many Radiofest attendees who didn't...
BTW, this is not the real situation. D-STAR has been used in a number of real emergency situations. They might not have been California slipping off of the...
Interesting, because that's not what I 've seen. Of course training the users and familiarizing users with the details of the mode is always a big thing that...
Yep, it definitely is possible. I see it all of the time. While FM is a nice, clear wideband signal when it has sufficient signal strength and correct...
Hello all!! So, a while ago, I noticed there was a lot of discussion about ways to improve DSTAR. Was there any discussion about possibly establishing a "QUE"...
This sounds pretty good. My problem is that D-Star is not all that far from me but I cannot talk on it while I am at my home. However I can walk yes, walk less...
In public safety (EDACS) radios receive control information and there is a handshake between the radio to let the radio know it is OK to transmit. This avoids...
... I give up!! What else is there to do? are people really that rude that they will jsut key up and not check to see if anyone is transmitting? in DSTAR,...
... If you don't know, we probably don't either. ;-) But we can offer ideas. The legwork's up to you... What kind of antenna are you using? How many...
... Not sure what you're saying is happening. You listen for a while, no one is talking, and when you unkey you hear voices INSTANTLY like they were talking...
Wow, I do not know where you live but I thought that where I live was the only place that people were rude on D-Star. I think some do not or wish not to...
Hello James, Well, as someone who runs a DStar net I would offer a couple of comments. First, I assume that since the net covers many miles it must be on a ...
... Good chance that those are gps(a) beacons, which a few operators run too frequently. 5 minute intervals is really the shortest period needed without...
I will only say this because I witnessed it. I have heard (not on the reflectors as you speak) Connies net on repeaters in Ireland, England, Australia, Canada,...
... From having been a repeater club President in the past, I can definitely state with some clarity two things: a) Repeaters are a shared resource. You'll...
... I hadn't thought of that, but yes... remember that many stations on D-STAR are running un-attended AUTOMATED data transmissions in the so-called "low-speed...
