Hello Group,
LA2QAA here, EU Amsat founder, 40+ years in radio ... but one of
the 'original' computer illiterates.
I recently purchased an IC-E92D despite my being on Frei Island, 500 miles from
the nearest D-Star repeater.
The DV Dongle in this part of the world is an *extreemly* expensive alternative
to connect to REF015C.
Therefore ... I was wondering if there is anyone who has/could set up a
connection using the D-Rats repeater software to their local D-Star repeater
and the internet, allowing people like me, without a dongle to join the D-Star
fraternity using just the IC-E92D's slow data and a laptop.
I'm aware that such a system could promote unwanted 'QRM' and have nothing
against being 'vetted' prior to eventual accept.
I have a professional military background in radio communications and am
therefore very well versed in both net disciple and emergeny communications
proceedures.
If anyone can be of assistance in helping me to gain experience of the D-Star
system (without a dongle or local repeater) I'd appreciate it if they would
contact me off list at <[email protected]>
When the internet fails ... and your cell mast blows down, you could still use
a store-and-forward cubesat in low earth orbit.
