Subject: [DSTAR_DIGITAL] IC-91AD programming and software
Hi Folks!
I was just wondering if anyone has had any experience programming an IC-91AD
Another option folks seem not to be mentioning, is free software (still need to
buy/make a cable).
http://chirp.danplanet.com/
The application works for a small handful of radios (including the 91ad). You
could always give that a shot before buying software. YMMV.

The 91AD and 80AD have totally different memory configurations. The
only Icom software that two radios can share is the 80 and 880.
However, you can use the information from here http://k7ve.org/blog/2007/06/csv-load-for-icom-ic-91ad/

Hi Craig
This contrained the final (4800 bps/6.25 kHz) air interface to a 2400 bps
AMBE perceptual coder with 2/3 convolutional FEC. This left about ~1kilo bit
a second of data on the air interface for usage as data (as any user saw
fit!).
You're a little wrong here. D-Star uses the AMBE
and if a voice frame fails correction it is
repeated for the next 20 ms until a new decode is attempted.
Every 21st data frame has a sync pattern for training.
Thanks for the peer review,
Craig

AMEN! It's COMMUNICATIONS QUALITY audio. not high fidelity!

Hmm, maybe room for a HF dongle for experimenters. :) Of course, a
pure software vocoder has its advantages, but there's room to try
different approaches.

I've got a new NQSMHS (built from kit) that I can't get the DVAR Hotspot

We are looking to establish a D-Star HotSpot at our local EOC.
I am looking for information regarding what we wil need to do so.
Our county wants to utilize the D-Star system, but due to financial issues we
are limited to how we must

Most radios are sent to 8bit. Can all radio's bit rate be changed?
I believe it is the LOW bit rate that lowers the quality of d-star's audio. Is
there a sub menu in the radio's. Also can the repeater's rate be change to a
higher rate?

to other DStar systems.
Note that the data rate over the internet can be much higher, but the chain
from repeater controller to / from the radio is fixed for DV comms at 9600.

Anybody using the above combination? I got my NQSMHS build over the weekend
and tried getting things running today but cannot get rid of
the R2D2 on Echotest.
I've been the full range of adjustment on the data terminal input and output
levels via the MCP-2A software and have carefully adjusted
Mike,
you might try putting the 710 in packet mode to make sure that it is seeing
a signal on the 9600 baud port.

. On the D700A, I ended up
placing a switch between my outside antenna and a small indoor antenna. When
indoors, I use that, and no more R2D2.
Wish I could be of more help.
