[DSTAR_DIGITAL] Re: callsign routing

Not quite true. If you have a small number of synced gateways talking to a Trust Server (which is actually the standard gateway software running in a Trust Server mode), when a station moves repeaters, the update is virtually instantaneous across all repeaters. In fact, after the initial datab

[DSTAR_DIGITAL] IC-91AD Buzz on 2 meter Transmit

I am working with the Fort Bend County Office of Emergency Management and they have some D-Star capable radios that I am doing some of the memory programming. One of the IC-91AD radios I was loading memories did not seem to work on 2 meter Digital transmit; neither the call sign nor the message

RE: [DSTAR_DIGITAL] IC-91AD Buzz on 2 meter Transmit

I think your problem is that you are listening to a DV transmission in FM mode. All you will hear is a buzz. You need to have both radios in the same mode. Fran _ From: dstar_digital@yahoogroups.com [mailto:dstar_digi...@yahoogroups.com] On Beh

[DSTAR_DIGITAL] Re: IC-91AD Buzz on 2 meter Transmit

Fran, Thank you. I initially thought that also, but checked and I was in FM mode for both radios when I heard the buzzing sound and could talk over the buzz and actually hear myself on FM in the other radio. When both radios were in DV mode, the call sign and message from the buzzing radio did

Re: [DSTAR_DIGITAL] IC-91AD Buzz on 2 meter Transmit

Charles, How "adjacent" was the second radio (I assume it was a 91AD)? I have found that you should have about 10 feet or so separation between the 91ADs (depending on power setting) or you can run into problems with callsign/message as you describe. The buzzing is a separate issue, I t

[DSTAR_DIGITAL] Re: IC-91AD Buzz on 2 meter Transmit

John, I had 2 91AD's that I was loading memories and testing. 91AD "A" to 91AD "B" call sign and message went fine on DV and No Buzz on FM from "A" to "B"; same distance "B" to "A" DV did not work and Buzz heard. On 70 cm everything worked fine "A" to "B" and "B" to "A". On an IC-2820 with remot

Re: [DSTAR_DIGITAL] Re: IC-91AD Buzz on 2 meter Transmit

Charles, OK, just wanted to verify. It's hard to diagnose from a distance, but I would suspect a defect in in 91AD "B" based on the description you have provided. On Oct 19, 2009, at 9:55 AM, CharlesK wrote: John, I had 2 91AD's that I was loading memories and testing. 91AD "A" to 91

[DSTAR_DIGITAL] Re: IC-91AD Buzz on 2 meter Transmit

John, I appreciate any ideas or thoughts or things to check. I also think it may be a problem/defect with the radio, but wanted to check with others just in case there might be some setting in the radio that I might have accidentally done/set that is not reset to factory defaults with the Reset

Re: [DSTAR_DIGITAL] Re: IC-91AD Buzz on 2 meter Transmit

Charles, I don't remember if you said you were programming these radios by hand or using software. If using software, a full reset of the radio wouldn't be a bad idea as you can quickly reload memories. If you have the Icom RS91 software, it should be easy (additional help on my site at

[DSTAR_DIGITAL] Re: IC-91AD Buzz on 2 meter Transmit

Neil, Thank you. I did take the D-Star board out and re-installed it with no affect. But you do give me a idea, which is to take the D-Star board out and see if the Buzz on 2 meter FM is still present. I will try that the next time I have access to the radio. 73, Charles WB5EXI --- In dstar_dig

[DSTAR_DIGITAL] Re: IC-91AD Buzz on 2 meter Transmit

John, My original question/email did state that I had done a Reset All on the radio three times and tested after each reset, just in case. I have been using the Chirp program for both the IC-2820's and IC-91AD's with very good luck doing multiple radios in a reasonable time. 73, Charles WB5EXI

Re: [DSTAR_DIGITAL] Re: IC-91AD Buzz on 2 meter Transmit

Try swapping them too?? Strange its only on the one band. My trusty old E90 developed a VFO fault after tightening up the SMA socket, the plastic ribbon had come loose. Removing and refitting solved the problem. Neil G7EBY. - Original Message - From: CharlesK To: dstar_digital@

[DSTAR_DIGITAL] Re: Beeps

There are other reasons why the radio may generate a "beep." The main one is loss of bit-sync. Every 21st frame has 0x55 0x2d 0x16 at the end - if you generate these at 20 or 22 frame intervals, sure enough, you get a beep. If you miss several, you get a beep. So, under weak conditions, you ca

I'm going to reply to myself as something just struck me. When I use my new VK3 call I haven't had much luck getting outside the gateway (although I haven't tried that much)... I'm thinking I need to register my new call because it doesn't see me as K5EJP anymore. Interesting... -e VK3EJP / K5
