Scott "European G2 TRUST server at: xtrust2.xreflector.net"
There is no European Trust Server. There are a group of German D-Star users that have declared UDI from the one-and-only worldwide G2 Trust Server and hence partitioned the network. As people have been working hard to fix the routing between the Japanese and non-Japanese networks, it is my belief that it is unhelpful for any individual to promote further partition of the worldwide D-Star network. I am not a self-publicist - I have been working quietly and privately on a non-Icom repeater linked to the G2 network that will allow repeater groups to save thousands of pounds/dollars and join the K5TIT-run network. Two repeaters are now successfully running this solution - users are unaware that they are operating on a non-Icom system and have full access to callsign routing and reflector linking. Will I open-source it ? Probably not. Why ? Because the D-Star network is so fragile, that if someone changes something in my code that breaks the network, I will get the blame, and that will pull any chance of future development. But, anyone can have a signed binary to run on their Linux system. 486, 512M RAM works fine. You just need a Satoshi board and a decent radio system with two-point modulation on TX. People know how to get hold of me.
