Hello, I have two IC-2200H radios that I'm trying out on Dstar. There isn't a repeater I can reliably hit from Anchorage. So I've been trying out the simplex possibilities.
I have the one radio in my truck running GPS beacon mode and the other set up at home connected to a computer connected to the internet. The computer is receiving the beacon packets and using "D-PRS Interface" to forward them to the APRS_IS system. The D-PRS software will also allow a local connection to UI-View, giving a Dstar tracking system that doesn't rely on a gateway or on the internet. I just got all this working and wanted to share that you can have fun with Dstar even without a repeater nearby. thanks...
