Re: ID1 radio for Emcomms to support WebEoc ??
Evans F. Mitchell; KD4EFM / WQFK-894
Leon, greetings.
?
This can take place on the following
items:
1) there is an ID-1 on the ip network that WebEoc resides
on.
2) The ID-1 accessing the webEOC on the other end is also
authorized
??? to access the network. (ip block is
10.x.x.x and static ip'ed AWAY FROM
??? the D-STAR Network
?
The web server running the webEOC can or should have a second
NIC and firewalled
for all practical reasons, but firewalled in a way that port
80 or 8080 is only accessible
from the 10./8 network or from another subnet like 192/16 or
192/8. That way the
server has some for of protection of it's
own.
?
AS A LAST DITCH EFFORT, all the above would be a
YES.
As for it being done now...... Not here in our area.... so
no.
?
This probably could be tested state side in the US at the
Georgia
WebEOC corp. HQ if they took some interest into
it...

New D-STAR Repeater Now in Place in ARRL Laboratory
New D-STAR Repeater Now in Place in ARRL Laboratory
09/02/2010
The ARRL Lab has installed a D-STAR (Digital Smart Technologies
for Amateur Radio) repeater in the Lab at the ARRL Headquarters
building. Operating with an output of 147.390 MHz, positive offset, the
W1HQ D-STAR repeater is a local repeater with a modest footprint
covering the Hartford-New Britain, Connecticut area. The antenna is on
the roof of the Headquarters building with the repeater located in the
Lab. With its gateway, the repeater is accessible to any D-STAR user on
the planet. The Lab¡¯s call sign is W1INF.
¡°The purpose of the repeater is to better educate the Lab staff on
D-STAR technology,¡± explained ARRL Test
Engineer Bob Allison, WB1GCM.
¡°In turn, we will have the ability to handle some of our members'
questions on the matter. We also intend to use this new technology when
emergencies occur where D-STAR technology is deployed.¡±
In the near future, the W1HQ D-STAR system will also include 70 and
23 cm repeaters, as well as a 23 cm high speed data link, once initial
frequency coordination is granted. ¡°We¡¯re especially interested in the
high speed data link,¡± Allison said. ¡°Though it will have a limited
range, we can begin experimenting with its potential and use it as a
training tool for Lab staff.¡±
Allison thanked Bill Unghire, N1CNV, for his contributions as the
major motivator for the ARRL HQ D-STAR project. ¡°Bill, an ARRL Life
Member, also provided valuable IT support with setting up the gateway,¡±
he said. Building Manager Greg Kwasowski, W1GJK, handled the
installation of all of the hardware, and Allison and W1AW Station
Manager Joe Carcia, NJ1Q, handled the testing and coordination efforts.
¡°Try giving the Lab a call -- during our noon lunch break, of course,¡±
Allison invited.

Hi guys, I'm new to the group.
I have a question, I am trying to get this to work but I'm stuck. I have a linksys router converted to HSMM-MESH node, linked to another mesh node which is connected to the Dstar gateway.
So far it looks like it connects to the trust server however, I can't seem to connect to any reflectors or push audio. I have ports open on the mesh node for the gateway and for the router which is connected to the internet.
Do I need to open the ports on the Mesh node connected to the internet/gateway.
Example:
Mesh Node1 = Dstar Gatwway
Mesh Node2 = Internet ------> which is connected to router that is connected to the DSL modem
Any help appreciated thank

Re: WinX64 USB driver for ID-1
Well done James,
That's very VERY interesting, now how do we find the x64 driver as it's not on the ICOM USA website last time I looked.?
I guess uploading it too the yahoo groups files would violate copyright but that sure sounds promising. Where do you think we should go from here and secondly did the driver require any "non signature enforcement" to activate it on booting up.
I know there are work arounds that have been forward however none particularly user friendly for me.

Some time ago, a few forum members had inquired about running the ID-1 on Win7, which requires a 64-bit usb driver. I suppose this applies to Vista as well. I just acquired a Win7 e-machine laptop (my 1st Win7 pc, previously XP) and needed to install the software for the ID-1. I have two ID-1's. One I bought brand new in 2009 and one I got off of ebay this year. Therefore, I have two cd's for the ID-1 and they are different. The ebay one must be an earlier unit. Its' cd is CD-250603-005, copy-write 2002-2004. The cd for the newer ID-1 is CD-250603-008, copy-write 2002-2007. The newer one has a folder marked WinX64 in the Driver folder. The pc could not successfully auto-install the driver when I plugged in the ID-1 into a usb port. I uninstalled the usb port from the hardware manager, plugged the ID-1 in again and did a manual install when an install wizard of some sort was offered. I selected the WinX64 driver folder and the install was successful.
The software seems to be running OK. I do have a problem adjusting the volume and squelch controls when trying to do a right or left-click with the computers mouse pad or external mouse. I am not sure why that is. I have to click and drag to compensate. That could be the nature of the e-machine. I don't have another Win7 computer to test that assumption, but at least using Win7 with the ID-1 is do-able.

Hello ALL; ???????? We have great news concerning the FRRL D-Star systems -? Thanks to Dean Holste KC9EOQ the computer that powers D-Star REF001 has been replaced. The orignal server had been overhwelmed at times keeping up with processor power which resulted in dropped connections that timed-out on? lost copnnection- keeping pings?to the connected client repeaters. With the replacement system that Dean has provided the problem no longer exists and REF001 now provides?operation that is far?more dependable and?stable than ever before.. ????? The REF001?system is know in the D-Star World as??the Internationsl MEGA reflector and it??located here in? Aurora, IL.??Using this?system the FRRL plays host to the D-Star world as the general calling and
working reflector channel?on REF001-C; it also hosts the Illinois D-Star nets on REF001-B; while the third channel known as REF001-A is planned to be used in the future for bulletins. ???????? Even if you do not have a D-Star radio or more than a passing interest please look at the server's website for a full list of the epeaters, local hostspots and dongles that are connected; At the time of this writing there are 36 connected repeaters, including the W9CEQ-B 440 machine on 442.10625 Mhz in addition to 26 individual hotspots and dongle users. ?????? I also would like to thank Jim Nevits K9XP for his donation of a new rack-mounted server which will soon power the FRRL W9CEQ Gateway system at our West Batavia/Elburn

7. One FREE with each RP2C/Software purchased. Shipping free.
I was a REAL EARLY adopter of D-Star but not enough interest developed in local clubs,
so repeaters never got deployed etc., and remaned nice and dry/warm in my living room!
Used ID-1s only for D-Star demos at clubs etc., some times taking repeaters along
in their travel case but not actually powering repeaters up. Just too much for one
guy to manage especially since I don't have a good repeater site of my own to use.
So need to sell and let some club or group put into use. I have 2 more ID-1 for my use
so not giving up on D-Star, just can't be the one to setup/manage a repeater site alone.
Any interest, contact me and let's work something out so this fine gear gets deployed
some where. Perhaps even in a mobile EMCOMM setup using the travel case I have.

D-STAR ID-1s and Repeaters Available - New or Almost New
Hi,
Please distribute to other clubs/email lists you might control.
Thanks and regards,
Paul N3UD
Hi,
------------------ D-STAR ID-1 Radios:
I have a few 'virtually new' ICOM D-Star ID-1 radios available.
Some of you may have seen me conduct D-Star demonstrations at local ham club
meetings with these. A few hours use for the demos is only use they have seen.
Other than changing to Anderson Powerpole connectors, they are 'like-new'.
Will sell 3 of the 5 I have, keeping 2 still for the wife(W3GZZ) and myself.
Asking $850 each, plus shipping if needed.
------------------ D-STAR REPEATER SYSTEMS:
I also have 2 DD repeaters, 1 FM repeater, 2 repeater controllers,
excellent duplexer, routers, some cables, various omni and beam antennas.
All for 1.2 Ghz and all UNUSED, NEVER POWERED UP, for sale.
Even a couple new desktop PC's suitable for repeater gateways
and of course the ICOM G2 gateway software.
Virtually everything needed for a club to get onto D-Star in a big way.
Price TBD but let's chat and see what you/your club needs and do a deal.
They are sitting snug in my living room in a nice 19-in rack case on wheels.
Shame to have such nice equipment idle.
