apparently you need a DeLorean travelling at 88.8 MPH before you can
work any of the stations on that repeater - HI HI.
A TARDIS should do the trick too. ;)

After several weeks in testing, MB6AM went live

Yeah, you can tell it not to process the queue (the Outbox)

bits from there until it's clean and then process the queue manually.
It's all still quite a bit in flux at the moment, but we're

John,
I'm not sure why you indicate that the DVDongle is an *extremely*
expensive alternative to connect to D-STAR. The DVDongle is $200USD
and should be half the price of the IC-E92D. The DVDongle does
require a terrestrial (low latency) Internet

You can make a rs-232 to IC-91 cable, but I think a USB will be
a bit of a problem.
Make the RS232-USB cable, then add a USB to serial adapter, and it
should work fine.

Yep, that would work. This is who I don't like the decentralised

A few questions
I've used Callsign Routing as well as most of the other methods
available on the system. All have been both successful and at other
times not so much.
Here are the questions as well as my thoughts to date which are

I think you will find the bleeps are from your radio. The receiver

They are from the radio. You can turn them off in the menus (at

As I advised several weeks ago, REF023 A is available for JOTA
stations to use all weekend. Feel free to use it for JOTA as
needed. I probably won't get to monitor too often, but if there are

Can someone tell me if the DV dongle will work with Vista64 bit or
the Apple Snow Leopard operating systems?
I'm using it on Vista 64 bit, no worries. Both the Java version, and
the new binary betas of DVTool work for me.
