You've got a great girlfriend! I'm surprised you haven't found much help - there's actually, maybe too much help out there, and finding what you really need is the trick. At my web site I have some video that should help: www.ARVideoNews.com. There are a couple of videos on how to program radios. You'll also find a PDF of my QST article "Operating D-STAR". All that's free, and there are some DVDs for sale on other D-STAR and digital voice topics. The web site dstarusers.org has a lot of resources on it. And the site http://www.dstarinfo.com/Calculator/DSTAR%20Web%20Calculator.aspx will show you exactly what information to put in the four key "callsign fields" of the radio for communicating through D-STAR repeaters. 73, Gary KN4AQ ARVN: Amateur Radio//Video News Gary Pearce KN4AQ 508 Spencer Crest Ct.
