Hi Allan, and welcome to D-STAR. If you get a DV Dongle or a DVAP, then
you won't need your local gateway. You'll be able to directly connect
over the internet to any D-STAR reflector, or to any D-STAR repeater that
is connected to a gateway that runs dplus. That would be almost all of
the D-STAR repeaters outside of Japan.
If you use a DV Dongle, then you'll be able to connect using the
computer. You would use a headset or a microphone and speakers connected
to the computer. If you use a DVAP, then you'll be able to use your 92AD
around the house to talk to the DVAP, which will then connect using the
computer.
I hope this helps clear up the confusion!
