Richard Hoskin VK3XE /JFK and Peter Willmott VK3TQ. have been experimenting with D-Star since 2006, yes a decade ! Richard and Peter will go through D-Star 101, callsign routing, D-Star evolution and changes over the years in technology, sound quality and gateway systems.
They will have VK3RWW 70cm / 23cm Voice & Data repeater on show and working. Peter’s portable 50w Kenwood D-Star repeater working. A 2m Digital Voice Access Point working on a MacBook and a “Throw in the Car” D-Star Repeater in a sandwich box. Over the last ten years D-Star has come a long way. You can come along and check out the voice quality of the ID-5100 Mobile and have a chat around the world. Using any of the devices above.
