Re: [DSTAR_DIGITAL] New D-Star repeater now in place in ARRL lab
That's good news. I've noticed Steve Ford has written small updates about news in the D-Star world from time to time, including references to node adapters, hotspots, etc. I can see they are running D-Star Monitor, but I don't see evidence of DPlus. Am I missing something?

Re: [DSTAR_DIGITAL] New D-Star repeater now in place in ARRL lab
Turns out DVTool for the DV Dongle does not show W1HQ in the list of Dplus-enabled gateways, but DVAR Hot Spot does. So I'm glad that I was apparently wrong about W1HQ. I am not within earshot of a D-Star repeater or I could just issue a link command to W1HQ and see if it succeeds. But based on DVAR, I suspect it will. Glad I was wrong.

That doesn't seem to be happening any more, or maybe D-STAR isn't significant enough yet. But they have run a few feature stories, including my Operating D-STAR back in 2008, when it was brand new to almost all of us. And my reviews of the IC-92 and ID-880, and the DVDongle, went well beyond standard radio reviews in length and depth to discuss the special features of D-STAR. So one way or another the ARRL and QST are giving D-STAR its due. I guess we'd all like to see more. 73, Gary KN4AQ ARVN: Amateur Radio//Video News Gary Pearce KN4AQ 508 Spencer Crest Ct.

One reason I think Gary is new technologies didn't threaten established technologies like SSB and AM. Packet was a step ahead of RTTY - digi's etc. PSK has a weak signal niche apart from other technologies. Traditional FM and DSTAR is like comparing a typewriter to a word processor and resemble the AM / SSB days (even warbulators).. One thing is certain - the market will find it's own level. steve On Sun, Sep 5, 2010 at 10:23 PM, Gary Pearce KN4AQ kn...@arrl.net wrote: -- Wet birds never fly at night.
Re: [DSTAR_DIGITAL] New D-Star repeater now in place in ARRL lab
I won't live long enough to see it, but I fully expect digital voice radio of various forms to mostly replace analog, much as SSB mostly replaced AM. Imagine hams communicating by voice in 50 years. Yes, there will be AM, SSB and analog FM. D-Star may or may not survive. If it does, it will have been improved and incompatible with what we use today. But I feel certain voice will largely be digital, both on HF and VHF/UHF. Codecs for hams will improve over time. There'll be more useful high speed data, at least on VFH+. Things change, from spark on forward. And Hams will have fun every step of the way. And in 50 years they'll still be using CW.
