How can D-STAR radios communicate

John,
Welcome to D-STAR. If you are looking to tie into the D-RATS
technology for purely data uses, it is flexible enough to allow you to
use a variety of mechanisms to interconnect, including a radio on each
end, AX.25 KISS, and other mechanisms. If you are just interested in

OK, just wanted to verify. It's hard to diagnose from a distance, but
I would suspect a defect in in 91AD B based on the description you
have provided.

Charles,
I don't remember if you said you were programming these radios by hand
or using software. If using software, a full reset of the radio
wouldn't be a bad idea as you can quickly reload memories. If you
have the Icom RS91 software, it should be easy (additional help on my

My reading of the protocol specification is that the header has a

So, was that the answer to all three questions posed?

2.
NXDN uses the same codec/modulation as D-STAR, that is why D-STAR DV
is claimed to be 6.25 Khz., the radios may just not be as tight. I
think the Utah VHF Society studies showed that different models of
Icom D-STAR radios exhibited different RF characteristics.
