and my internet-connected HotSpot, probably my favoriate activity is to take a
small case with my Yaesu FT-817ND and my NUE-PSK PSK modem, along with a small,

This does point to the one problem I have with D-Star. Information

Since you have it lying around, and don't mind the power bill, might as well
use it!
I thought about using a ml350g2 I had, but wanted something that would run
on 12v, have no moving parts, and use less power than the radios!
We have a couple minor utilities running, the only thing tha

Chuck,
We run the G4ULF system on a Via C7 mini ITX board, 1GB ram, and a 8GB CF
card as the HD.
The CPU never gets much usage, and it has no moving parts. Only 1 Ethernet
port is required.
It runs on CentOS.
The system cost less than $150 to build, including case.

NI-STAR / Gateway requirements are less than those for Icom Gateway.
I think Dave (G4ULF) is using a fairly modest 512 Mbytes of memory and
an ITX style board (typically 1-1.6 Ghz. processor). You do need
Ethernet and probably would be good to have 2.0 USB for a node adapter.

I've been looking for minimum system requirements for a D-Star Gateway /

able to use, but would like to make some kind of intelligent selection.
I could probably find the specs for CentOS (Redhat) and base my choice

Differing aspects of amateur radio have their place. That's what makes

Hello Jozef,
Read the post. No where did I say I would give up HF in favour of
D-Star, I said it's nice to have the option of either.
When I want to sit in the garden and have a beer and a chat with
someone on the other side of the world D-Star is the way to go. When I
want to work DX then I go t

You can trade off bit rate either for bandwidth or the signal-to-noise ratio
required for reception, which effectively means range for a given power.

Even for music, while someone might put up a point-to-point microwave link or
similar that happens to have that level of fidelity, I don't think there's any

One of the design requirements/choices made by the JARL was to provide
simultaneous voice/data transport on the DStar DV air interface. This

Greetings,
I see many websites using the D-Star logo (a star with the word D-Star).
Is this logo freely usable to promote D-Star?
If so, does anyone have it at 300 dpi? If you do, could you please send it
to me?
Thanks

Hi Jozef,
I agree with your point. In the US the FCC regulates frequencies and licensing
- the biggest corporate infrastructure around. Yet I keep and enjoy my HF
stations and the VHF/UHF stations.

infrastructure u
This is funny! My wife is clearly a D-Star supporter as well. She's

There are other codecs and vocoders that provide better audio
reproduction than AMBE. That's just a fact of life. There are some

D-Star, to me, will NEVER EVER, replace HF/SSB/CW and the thrill and
romance of being able to communicate with another human being without
any corporate infrastructure in-between. To give that up would be to
surrender to those that control the infrastructure. I am not about to
that, nor ever.
