I spoke with Steve G4UUI on the Ashford UK repeater this morning. GB7DS A will be active with G4ICM during business hours (UK Time) tomorrow. I have been going repeater X repeater into JA, where I call on the 1's then 2's etc, then maybe switch to I's or G's and back. Not setting any records

Be sure GPS is OFF and squelch is not open - may even be good to set the attenuator ON. It will not transmit with open squelch. I use a prolific converter - XP and http://cobalt.n5zpr.com/dstar2.html cable drawings. Also be sure in system hardware configuration you have to com port set

Make sure the cable is wired correctly for data (it's different for GPS) see: : http://cobalt.n5zpr.com/Media/icom_cables.pdf Also D-STAR data has nothing to do with packet, so don't look in the packet sections of your manual. Also gonig to the D-RATS site and join the support list. Great
