"Pretty soon, there will be a new version of the dongle that will let you create a mini-pool of D-STAR RF coverage around your PC"
This got my attention. Can you please elaborate on this? I didn't see this on the DV Dongle web site.

I'll add that the program "Digital Voice for Amateur Radio" is the one you want for a basic "What is it?" If you're in a radio club, it'll make a good meeting program or two. And I've got a bunch of articles and radio reviews you can download on the "otherstuff" page on the web site. I'll add that for over the road, when you're in range of a D-STAR repeater, you can connect it to "reflectors" with multiple repeaters, and talk to the same group of hams no matter where you are. When you're NOT in range (and D-STAR isn't everywhere yet by a long shot), you can use a laptop with an air card and a DVDongle (www.dvdongle. com) and talk anywhere on the D-STAR network worldwide. Pretty soon, there will be a new version of the dongle that will let you create a mini-pool of D-STAR RF coverage around your PC in your truck, so you can use a D-STAR HT inside the truck stop and connect anywhere on the network. 73, Gary KN4AQ ARVN: Amateur Radio//Video News Gary Pearce KN4AQ 508 Spencer Crest Ct.
