Still no three-band mobile or handheld.

Have to go with Kenwood TM-741 and Satoshi's DV Adapter then to be able 
to talk D-STAR on all three bands.

Hi Gordon and GM from Texas,

I took a look at the English translation of the JARL site: 
http://www.jarl.or.jp/English/0-2.htm and downloaded the JA Band Plan.
 It looks to me like there are no 144 Mhz. repeater allocations - many
simplex, but no repeaters.  This certainly does not rule out 2M
simplex, but I would think a domestic only dstar radio would be have
23cm and 70cm, first, and 2M as an afterthought.

Anyone have a Satoshi board with AMBE chip they want to sell?  Prefer
unassembled.  bossh...@vvm.com . 73, Steve NU5D

 Hi John:
 I had a Japanese translator do a little translation for me.  Doesn't
appear to anything to earth shattering in the models.  What was passed
along to me was that until you see and English version pop up on
either the Japanese site or ICOM America/Canada there's a possibility
that it will not be an export model to North America.

Larry,

 

   It is 2m, 70cm, 1.2ghz

 

  A full D-STAR Stack will operate on the 144MHz, 440MHz, and 1.2GHz bands.
Note below that if you have 1.2 GHz you actually have a DV Repeater and a DD
Repeater in addition to the VHF and UHF repeater. Yeah 1.2GHZ is actually
UHF but we don't refer to it as such in Amateur Radio since UHF goes to
3GHz.  So if you own a D-STAR radio and have a repeater controller you
should be able to route to any module in the stack, thus go in on any
frequency and come out on any other frequency (e.g. access the VHF repeater
and come out on any one or all repeaters VHFVHF, VHFUHF, VHF1.2 or
VHFVHF,UHF, 1.2)

 

ID-RP2C Repeater Controller

ID-RP2D 1.2GHz DD Mode RF Module

ID-RP2V 1.2GHz DV Mode RF Module

ID-RP2000V 144MHz DV Mode RF Module

ID-RP4000V 430(440)MHz DV Mode RF Module

Greetings...
Sorry for not being more 'up to date' myself... But when you mention of
three bands, which bands are you speaking about... I assume the first two
bands are 2 meters and 450.. but which is the other band?..
Just asking...

[DSTAR_DIGITAL] Update 01/29 : CML/DVSI Bulk Order

2009-01-29 Thread Fred N. van Kempen
Hi all !

Today I got a confirmation from CML that the first batch of
CMX589AP4 chips have been sent to me, and should be here on
Monday or so.  Hurray!

It seems that I took their entire stock of PDIP-packaged
chips, haha, and now they have to make new ones for the rest
of the order...
 
As soon as they arrive, I'll start sending out orders, oldest
ones first, and first the CMX589-only ones, as the AMBE's
have not arrived yet.

Meanwhile... people are still ordering (if you recognize the
reply Yes, you're a lil late, indeed, then you're one of
them ;-) so I managed to convince CML to increase my order
again, at the same price.  That was the last 'change' they'd
let me do, though.

So... the first chips should land safely about this time next
week, get the irons hot'n'ready!

Oh... if anyone knows Peter AI4UE or Andy MM0FMF, please contact
me off-list; these OM's are not responding and will soon be
removed from my list.. thanks !

Cheers,

Fred PA4YBR

Hi Nick,

Sorry I have not updated you before now.  Our gateway is currently down 
due to an ISP problem that requires
my presence to fix. I have been working with the ISP's NOC to resolve 
the problem. We had planned to resolve the problem this past Wednesday 
but work got in the way of my free day off.  The bad news is that we are 
still down until at least next Wednesday.  The good news is that is that 
we will register you in another system so you can use your new toy. I 
have ask one of the other Florida admins to enter your call into their 
system. You will be able to use any of the local systems once you are 
registered. Once again I apologize for the delay, but Super Bowl has us 
all scrambling and working very long hours.
