Now that is a nice example. Unix is proprietary software, and Richard Stallman and a couple of friends started the GNU project to mimick everything the Unix environment did, but its all open source and everybody may use it as they see fit. In many cases the GNU programs outperform and outfunction

> Unix is proprietary software, Actually, it was not until AT&T decided it could be useful, and so they pulled the source license from most customers. Since then, several variants have been written (the most well-known one being BSD of course, in its BSDi / 386BSD forms, which shaped into OpenBSD a

Gary, I did think you were asking a simple question needing some help. But this group seems to have some who really think they are the tech guros, hi. Seems a rep of this group. Know some good D-Star Hams who have left for they are interested in the technology rather than a pillow fight, hi.

I couldn't agree more with you. A lot of people are fed up of all the "wannabees" fighting with each other, and I wasn't that interested in the history lesson either.

Gary brings up a very good point about the time needed for the system to update call signs when moving between repeater sites using call sign routing. Updates into JA are pretty much done on an hourly basis (so it seems). The patch between G1 in JA and G2 elsewhere may predicate this. This ma

I need help. I have an ICOM IC-2200H with the UT-118 freshly installed. I have a gateway account on my local D-Star repeater. I logged on and I think I checked all the boxes and got one IP. I "think" I have configured my 2200H correctly. I sorta understand the DV, but I never hear anyone o

Hi Marlin, Well you have a nomenclature problem - DD (Digital Data) refers to the Ethernet encapsulation within D-STAR protocol at 128K and is only currently available on 23cm using the ID-1 radio (and RP2D module). If you key your mike and the repeater comes back with an ID, you have basic

Hi Marlin, Welcome to D-Star! I don't see you on your repeater's last heard list, it can take a couple of days to get registered. In any case, confirm Mycall, Urcall, Rpt1call, and Rpt2call are all correct with C and G in the eighth digit. Check your 1's and l's and 0's and o's to make sure it's

Hi Marlin, Mycall is the call sign you registered Yourcall/urcall is usually set to CQCQCQ it's also used for linking and unlinking eg. REFOO1CL, orU rpt1 is the repeaters call sign, with the module letter as the 8th digit. C is usually the 2m band, B for 70cm, A for 1.2GHz. rpt2 is usu
