GB7HU Joins the Worldwide D-Star Network! 


After working into the small hours, Darren Storer (G7LWT) of the UK Interconnect Team has installed the Icom Gateway Software onto our Gateway PC. The system has been approved by the Trust Server Team in the US and our D-Star Repeater GB7HU has joined the Worldwide D-Star Network. The D-Plus system which allows the system to link into other D-Star Repeaters and Reflectors worldwide is currently being installed, and should be operational by the time you read this thread...

I will be creating the training material and the .ICF files for the Icom IC-E92D handheld and Icom IC-E2820 mobile over the next few days to enable everyone use the system to its full potential. 

Thanks go to Darren G7LWT for configuring the system in record time, and to Clive G3GJA for putting the wireless infrastructure in place to allow GB7HU to use his Internet connection from Anlaby at no additional cost to the group - something which is becoming an issue to the many D-Star repeaters around the UK.
