Hi John, These are good comments and I generally agree with them. I'll add a few thoughts of my own here... 1) a 'glass cockpit' style of interface - an LCD that is either itself touch sensitive or is surrounded by softkeys, or both. Note that the IC-2820 already has a large, dot-matrix LCD

Pete, It seems like if I specify a TCP Port for D-PRS Interface to connect to (I'm talking TCP serial port here - as in connecting to DVTool), that D-PRS Interface will only try once to connect to the TCP port when the application is first launched. Is there anyway I can talk to you into a new

Pete, I should also mention that this future version of D-STAR Hot Spot will only send slow speed (DPRS) data received from the attached RF receiver to D-PRS Interface. Slow speed data embedded in a DV stream received from a connected gateway or reflector will NOT be sent out the TCP port to

My response is in relation to U.S. regulations, other countries may have stricter or looser regulations. I don't believe D-STAR should be limited to the lowest common denominator. Each radio operator should be responsible for operating his/her station under the regulations that govern their

2008-12-28 Thread Barry A. Wilson
We have so many self appointed lawyers in our amateur radio community you're always going to have individual interpretations of what is and isn't allowable. We are a self regulating service but that doesn't give any operator the right to dictate what others do because they interpret the rules

AE7Q wrote a nice little utility that takes csv files and makes icf for various Icom D-STAR radios (see http://www.d-starcom.com/). My blog is down right now, due to a new router that I am trying to get to do an inbound NAT for the webserver, but there's a pretty good step-by-step article
