Re: Query - any D-Star 1240-1300 DD networks still in use?


 

There's actually a LOT more. If you look at the IC-9700, you'll find quite a few D-STAR with 1.2 DD. I believe that there's well over a half dozen for GA alone.

It looks as if the G3 update is what killed the Repeater's Internet connectivity. I haven't been able to get it to work since then. But that doesn't mean that it can't be done, all you need to do is to put a ID-1 or IC-9700 connected to the repeater and use it for the connectivity.

D-RATS works great over 1.2 GHz DD. It needs a few tweaks to optimize throughput, but you can transmit quite a bit of data. The file transfer portion of D-RATS starts to realistically allow multi MB files to be transferred.
The IC-9700 is also nice in that you can have DD on one side and DV on the other side of the radio.

OK, apparently you guys are going to dribble in new info right up until this article publishes :-)

So be it :-) Here's the LATEST list of cities with D-Star DD repeater systems on 1240-1300 MHz:

Atlanta, GA

Dallas, TX

Detroit, MI

Huntsville, AL

Las Vegas, NV

Minneapolis / St. Paul, MN

New Mexico (cities unstated)

Orlando, FL

Vancouver, BC

Walburg (Georgetown / Austin), TX

Washington, DC

Wausau, WI

(Wish I could say Seattle area, but I've had no confirmation of any DD system online there.)

Thanks,
