[DSTAR_DIGITAL] Re: Programming 2820
Thanks Jack. I did get it to work with Chirp. I can't seem to get the RT software to work no matter what I do. I've got both the data cable (1529) in the front and the speaker cable (OPC 478) for the back (from an IC 746) which I think is the same as a CT-29A. I am using a serial to usb interface, but it works with all the other radios and software I have, so the problem is just with RT. They are still getting back from Dayton and prolly have a bunch of email, so I'll be patient. If I can get their software to work with the 2820, I'll consider it for the 92. Oh, the only error I get is that the cable is not attached or the radio is not on. Not sure if this is normal for the front data cable for the 1529.

[DSTAR_DIGITAL] Dprs question
Ok, so here is where I am at.. First thanks to everyone! It works, no fancy software (like I had been told in the past) just hook radio to GPS, set a few settings in the radio and *poof* *presto* there is a little icon of me on the web!! Ok, it's early, I entertain easily! So for about the 2 hours I was driving around I have realized something, _bring extra batteries_. 15 minutes into running errands yesterday the GPS batteries died, and shortly after that the battery on the 91AD followed suit. Thanks again for everyones input!

RE: [DSTAR_DIGITAL] Re: Programming 2820
Make sure you don't have a cable plugged into sp2 if you are trying to program the radio from the data port in the front. The reverse would be true if you are trying to program it from the sp2 jack, you would need to remove the cable from the data port.

[DSTAR_DIGITAL] Re: Dprs question
I sure encourage you to set GPS AUTO TX to OFF so the radio only sends GPS data when you talk. This is especially true with your transmissions going to a reflector. Not many folks want to be shot gunned with a non voice PTT every so many minutes. (Once the new wears off).

Nate WY0X wrote: having an IP Gateway up WAY up high at the super wide area Digi site is going to change the Denver APRS landscape a bit, but I'll leave that to the Digi owner to discuss with folks, etc... should be a GOOD thing... In the APRS world, Bruninga has recommended that the APRS digipeater architecture works better if each one has limited range and you have more of them scattered about. The simplex digipeater can handle only so many beacons a minute, and the ones with really tall antennas can get overloaded, causing lots more collisions. Of course, I haven't looked at recent statistics. I suppose over time, some of those APRS beacons could get shifted to DStar. I have a question. On the email list of a local DStar repeater, it was pointed out that: One thing to keep in mind is if you are sending this positioning information automatically, you may be colliding with another user attempting to be making a voice transmission. As we know, the R2D2 affect happens when a doubling takes place and I just want to make sure everyone understands the outcome of sending GPS data in an automatic mode. We must also keep in mind, that if you have your radio set to a memory channel that connects your transmission to another System through the Worldwide Gateway your GPS data is also being sent to the distant node. He recommended stationary radios beacon every 12 hours, and mobile radios send their position only on PTT, not automatically. This makes sense to me, but I'm curious how other parts of the country feel about it.

Ok, it's early, I entertain easily! You have me laughing because that was MY first experience with it too... and I set up the darn Gateway! (I didn't know all that add-on stuff included a it just works copy of javaAPRSd running on the Gateway that would send all the right stuff to the world. LOL! So for about the 2 hours I was driving around I have realized something, _bring extra batteries_. 15 minutes into running errands yesterday the GPS batteries died, and shortly after that the battery on the 91AD followed suit. Same thing happened here too... I quickly realized that I have EITHER a serial cable for my venerable old Garmin GPS V, *OR* a power cable, but not one of the dual cables. Oops. Something to order... eventually. Rechargeable AA batteries are playing cover in the mean-time. One of the posts on the Gateway admin's list a while back talked about how to drive a separate TNC/radio with the SAME copy of javaAPRSd from the D-STAR Gateway machine, to create an APRS/IP Gateway on that side of things. With the repeater being at a REALLY high mountain-top site and there is already an APRS DIGI up there, radio/antenna/etc... already up there, and owned by one of the tech crew members of the D-STAR group... all we have to do is run a cable to the TNC, reconfigure things a bit... and voila... APRS/IP Gateway. Then we can also gateway the DPRS from the D-STAR side to the RF side on APRS and back and forth if we want to, without having to hunt down the current IP Gateway operators, necessarily. (Obviously having an IP Gateway up WAY up high at the super wide area Digi site is going to change the Denver APRS landscape a bit, but I'll leave that to the Digi owner to discuss with folks, etc... should be a GOOD thing... but hey, we have solid IP access up there... why not? Save a few hops and some air-time... just about everything in the city can get there direct.) So... anyway... that'll be much later this summer, if we even get 'er done. We're all swamped with more pressing projects right now. But it's a cool thing to do up there. Have fun with DPRS! Nate WY0X -- Nate Duehr n...@natetech.com .

[DSTAR_DIGITAL] Re: Icom V82: Connectivity and Control for D-Star
2) Does the V82 support remote control via the 'clone' port, or is operation of this port limited to when a special 'clone mode' is entered? I picked up my 1st rig (IC-V82) at lunch time... no D-Star for a bit as I have to save up my pennies for that. So let the hacking begin. ;-) I couldn't find mention of any CI-V software that supports the V82, however looking at the serial line when using CS-V82 it does appear to be talking something like CI-V. The radio accepts the 'Clone/Information' without entering a special mode and replies nicely. I can emulate the sequence with 'CI-V test', however it does not display the response (even though I can see it on the serial port). -- Port opened by process CSV82.exe (PID: 1540) Request: 5/20/2009 7:00:17 PM.94264 FE FE EE EF E0 28 26 00 00 FD þþîïà(..ý Answer: 5/20/2009 7:00:17 PM.95764 (+0.0156 seconds) FE FE EE EF E0 28 26 00 00 FD FE FE EF EE E1 28 þþîïà(..ýþþïîá( 26 00 01 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 .. 20 20 20 00 07 05 06 32 39 36 45 33 2E 30 30 FD 296E3.00ý Port closed -- Cheers, Simon VA6SDW
