There are lots of nets on other networks (like WiRES, EchoLink and IRLP), but not on D-STAR, you know why. In this sense, it does not necessarily fit the way we operate. -- JI1BQW - Kay Ishikawa Thanks for the information, Kay. Many of us still remain baffled at why JARL would have left

You definitely should consider the 80/880. At a minimum, they have the same type of memory programmability as all of the radios, it's just the new repeater mode is a little quirky. But you don't have to use it if you don't want to. The old stuff still works great. Ed WA4YIH -Original

Actually there was the capability to have it in the AX.25 network. There was a WP (White Page) and YP (Yellow Page) server that was a distributed architecture that users could query. And yes, Packet radio died because it worked. As packet became popular and people used it, the traffic went up

D-PRS Interface lets you look at the serial stream directly (without interpretation) by selecting Direct under View in the main menu. If Direct is not selected, it only shows you what passes CRC or FCS per the D-PRS specification. If it is not connecting properly to the hot spot serial TCP

You can also open a console window and type: telnet localhost 20003 and watch the slow speed data that is being sent from Hot Spot. You can do this to confirm TPC/IP connectivity and data flow. Mark (KB9KHM) --- In dstar_digital@yahoogroups.com, ae5pl p...@... wrote: D-PRS Interface lets

And yes, Packet radio died because it worked. As packet became popular and people used it, the traffic went up and eventually people left because now the network was too congested to do anything. AX25 reminds me quite a bit of D-Star. AX25 has two modes: connected (linked) and unconnected
