[dstar_digital] Re: Amplifiers for DStar repeater use

A lot of people in my area use a Comet GP95 with LMR-400, seemingly with success. What about the Comet makes it less than ideal, and what else would you recommend? (I'm not trying to be picky, just would like some technical details so I don't give others bad advice.) 73 de NAØG > My guess is.

[dstar_digital] RS-92 Software info

Hello all: How does the Low Speed Data portion of the RS-92 software compare to D- Rats? I ask because I've found nothing on the internet or at Icom that explains what their software consists of...but maybe I haven't looked hard enough. Perhaps someone could send me the RS-92 help file? Thanks,

[dstar_digital] Manually Programming the IC-92AD

Gentlemen: My D-Star work has been limited to simplex as I am currently outside a repeater coverage area. I do not have the RS-92 software. When programming Band B D-Star channels, I am able to store the freq, duplex, offset, MNAME, and whatnot in the usual manner: Press MR for 1 sec to enter pr

[DSTAR_DIGITAL] Re: Digest Number 555

That darn connector! Thanks a ton Barry for replying off list to help with my confusion. I still have some minor questions for the group: Pin 3: Clone > CPU and Pin 9: OPTV > CPU What are they for in plain English? Also (and yeah, I'm missing something very basic here): Is pin 2 the PTT? G

[DSTAR_DIGITAL] Re: ICOM announced new hand-held and mobile D-STAR transceivers, ID-80 and ID-880

How many of you repeater owners have an active 1.2 DV repeater on the air? Do you see any actual use? I'm curious about this because, IMHO, 1.2 DV has very little to offer. 1.2 is strictly line of sight, and one really needs a high gain antenna and expensive feedline for reliable work. Why oper

[DSTAR_DIGITAL] Re: ICOM announced new hand-held and mobile D-STAR transceivers, ID-80 and ID-880

Thanks for the comments, Nate. I'm just stirring the pot here for fun. I see 1.2DV as nothing new, as I have many radios that reach repeaters now... I see 1.2DD as the real performance upgrade: My laptop goes plug and play into my ham radio (ID-1), and now my laptop can reach a repeater, and tal

[DSTAR_DIGITAL] Icom IC-80AD

I see Universal Radio has listed the Icom IC-80AD on their site. A quick search didn't yield much positive information. Any one know the difference between the 80 and the 92? Thanks, Gene NAØG

880 vs 800 (was: Re: [DSTAR_DIGITAL] Signal Distance)

John is right on the money here. - Tactical Call Sign SOP: A tactical call sign is entered in the 4 digit comment field after a station's legal call sign: MY: NAØG /EOC Such tactical calls can be readily pre-programmed in the MYCALL memory of most radios. With this procedure, your tact

[DSTAR_DIGITAL] Mirage BD-35

Hello All: I've heard it said that with the Mirage BD-35 D-Star will outrange plain old FM. If that is so I'll look into getting one. But before spending my moldy money, I would like some first hand reports from Mirage users: What is the greatest distance you've been able to get into a repeate

[DSTAR_DIGITAL] Amphenol N connectors

Hello all: I'm new to the ID-1 and am setting up a mobile antenna for field day type activities. My antenna is a Comet GP-95 and I want to to use LMR-400 coax. What is the correct Amphenol connector? I usually use Mouser... Thanks, Gene NA0G
