[DSTAR_DIGITAL] What is required for a D-Star Repeater?

2009-08-25 Thread ipscone
I have been thinking about setting up a D-Star repeater. I don't have access in much of the area where I live. So, I'm thinking about setting up my own. But I want to scope this thing out, before I start purchasing. Mine would be limited to 70cm and 23cm. I would likely start out with a bare

[DSTAR_DIGITAL] apparently odd behavior while scanning

2009-08-25 Thread Ray T. Mahorney
while scanning in the upward direction the 800 skips channel 2 when there is activity on the channel however when scanning downward it picks up channel 2 which is in this case GB3RD. There are no banks and no Pskip channels programmed so this is a bit puzzling. Has anyone else seen this?
