http://www.qrz.com/db/JF1CXH/ http://www.qrz.com/db/JF1TEU/ I received emails from several JA Stations. JA stations can use the gateways to communicate with other gateways within Japan according to one of the replies. It seems the JA stations use their own first generation gateway system administered by the JARL and not the K5TIT Trusted Server running second generation software. The JA gateway stations do not have DPlus either. I am sure as dstar continues to grow in numbers that changes will need to happen to accommodate growth. In the mean time it is nice to have a work around solution for RF contacts and the DV Dongle for internet contacts, particularly for JL7HHS in Dubai where licensing an amateur radio station can be an issue. Each QRZ Listing above has good information about making contacts between the two disparate systems. 73, Steve NU5D. -- "It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish."
