I built a standalone 2m D-Star repeater based on an early Satoshi DV Node Adapter board 18 months ago. This was back in the days when you needed two PIC's to use standalone mode. I originally wanted to use a couple of commercial Icom radio but ended up using some Simoco SRM9000 mobile radios. I also use a SRM9000 for my DV Node Adapter hot-spot.
Last year I changed the design and made an interface so I could connect the modem in the DV Node Adapter PCB directly to my Icom ID-RP2C D-Star controller. The home-brew D-Star repeater has been working in this fashion for around six months alongside a "normal" Icom 70cm D-Star repeater. I've got some videos up on YouTube showing the repeater in action. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MALY_mEDp_8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BshKlf0QTPY Michael.
