Re: [dstar_digital] Re: Limited access
And I was in the eye of a CAT5 hurricane and the internet, the electricity, the REPEATERS, the Cell towers and commercial towers were down. Even the hospital (Fletcher-Allen) had no electricity. The generator got whacked too. The EOC in Punta Gorda was out of service and the Sarasota EOC filled in until they got up and running 24 hours later. I recall having this conversation once before, Hams were heavily relied upon that week. There is a thing called line of sight! In other words, simplex operations or non repeater operation. Every excercise should be carried out as though these services are not there and then migrate those services back into the excercise. Start at the top of the emergency rather than at the bottom. But what do I know So it does happen... 2004 Hurricane Chalie, Punta Gorda, Port Charlotte Florida. de N1TAI -Original Message- From: Woodrick, Ed [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: dstar_digital@yahoogroups.com dstar_digital@yahoogroups.com Sent: Fri, 27 Jun 2008 10:19 am Subject: RE: RE: [dstar_digital] Re: Limited access I have walked into a location where the eye of a hurricane has passed and Internet was available. And don’t forget that we seldom locate repeaters in valleys that are prone to flooding, I like my repeaters on top of the hill. Not all repeaters are connected with DSL service, some have very high reliability connections. No, I’m not going to count on the fact that Internet is going to always be available. But I’m not going to say that it never will be available. History has shown that the Internet is much more survivable than some hams think. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

In many areas 145.67 mHz. is the D-STAR contact frequency, I'd start there.

From what I've seen, the C modules on the reflectors are where a number of repeaters are linked full time. To keep from bothering these folks, why don't we try to stay away from the C module. And we probably ought to stay off of the non- North American Reflectors.

Re: [dstar_digital] IC-2200H with module for sale
Hi Sebastian, I have a DV Dongle that is relatively new also. IT works well but not my wick in the candle... Got the Box etc.. No manual, doesn't come with one :). Bought it about a month ago. Want to work out something? Ray N1TAI 860-575-3994 -Original Message- From: Sebastian [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: dstar_digital@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thu, 5 Jun 2008 9:27 am Subject: [dstar_digital] IC-2200H with module for sale Hello everyone. My first post here, and I hope I'm not breaking the rules. About 3 weeks ago, I purchased an Icom IC-2200H 2 meter mobile, with the D-Star module. I live in deep south Florida. I purchased it from Mike's Electronics, who donated a D-Star repeater to their local club. Unfortunately, the location they are using doesn't allow me to hit the repeater. The owner of the store and I discussed that possibility, but I decided to buy it anyway. Unfortunately, the owner has had a health problem, and has closed the store. I don't know if it will be temporary, or permanent, however I'm sure that he won't be able to reopen it until a couple of months from now, if not longer. Since I can't hit the only repeater around here, I've only been able to use the digital side with 2 other local hams, on simplex. The audio is great (I don't have to tell you that). But based on the above, I've decided that at this time, my best bet is to sell the rig, and get myself a DV Dongle. I think $275 plus shipping for it would be fair. It's in mint condition, has never been mobile, I have the box and everything else that came with it (less the UPC label). 73 de W4AS Sebastian [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

You hit the nail on the head. I like HF and the computer is for computing (hi hi.) Got your message, I was in the yard cutting the grass. Took today at home instead of going into the office. Call me when you are free... I am available most of the day. 73 de N1TAI -Original Message- From: Sebastian [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: dstar_digital@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thu, 5 Jun 2008 12:50 pm Subject: Re: [dstar_digital] IC-2200H with module for sale One word - YES. I just called and left you a voice mail. I guess you are at lunch. I bought the radio on the 27th of last month, so that's last week. And you know the rest of the story. So either email, or call me back, and tell me what you mean by not my wick in the candle - I guess you just would rather talk on the radio rather than a computer? 73 de W4AS Sebastian Acosta 19340 Franjo Road Cutler Bay, Fl 33157 786-250-6224 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
