RP2D Description Correction
Moderator's Note: RP2-D IS NOT a repeater. It is a half-duplex access point similar to a WiFi access point.
---------------------- Post should have said "data repeater" not "data repeater controller". Sorry for any confusion. New and complete but not in original packaging, one RP2D data repeater for 1.2Ghz D-Star. $850 shipped CONUS. Regards, Paul N3UD Cell 610-613-0610 p.s. The RP2C unit is controller for D-Star data, FM and digital voice repaters. The RP2D unit is the 1.2 Ghz data repeater unit itself.

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýA couple of us here in VK use "X" as the

Re: 1.2 GHz 8 dBi Flat Patch Antenna
I made a Flat Patch antenna based on a design presented at Pacificon Antenna Seminar 10 or more years ago. It's just a couple pieces of sheet aluminum, nylon nuts on nylon bolts and a BNC connector. It works quite well, although I don't have a way of measuring gain. It's also not in any weatherproof container (Tupperware?), so I don't use it outside except temporary.

I built a "Controlled Impedance Yagi Antenna" from an article for 1.2G, and it works Very Well. According to the article, the 10 element antenna has 13 dBi gain. I think the total cost to me was about $5.00 until I added decent coax. It uses a stick and copper wire, and dimensions are to inch. I used a hand drill, not a press. I can forward the article if you want. It can be waterproofed for outside use. The only issue is you need a way to measure SWR at this frequency to make sure you have a working antenna. With this antenna I've reached K6MDD-A from near Yosemite at over 110 miles. The original article for this antenna is in the Files section of this group, although there was a newer article produced after D-STAR arrived and it has a couple different dimensions. This article also has a "Simple Vertical Collinear Antenna" with about 5 to 6 dBi gain designed for mobile use. It's 10" overall height. 73, Arnold KQ6DI ----- Original Message -----

Re: L-com RE1208P-SM 1.2 GHz 8 dBi Flat Patch Antenna
Look at the frequency specs.?? 1080 - 1200 Mhz puts the sweet
spot outside the place where you would want to be for ID-1
(1250-1260Mhz)

Has anyone used the L-com RE1208P-SM 1.2 GHz 8 dBi Flat Patch Antenna
successfully with the ID-1 ? Since they are relatively inexpensive ($30) I was considering purchasing two primarily for (ID-1) unit-to-unit test Data Transmission Testing. Thanks in advance, Jerome WD4CWG WD4CWG@... |

Special Event Stations on D-Star
dave.2w0ruh
Hi all
To correspond with National Science Week, St Cyres schools in Penarth and Dinas Powis in South Wales UK will be operating Special Event stations as part of the school curriculum science projects. Barry Amateur Radio Society will be operating GB2SCP from Penarth and GB2SCD from Dinas Powis, under supervision we aim to get schoolchildren to communicate with Radio operators across the world on this event. The event will operate for a short period of time, from approx 11:30 UTC until school close probably around 15:00 UTC on Wednesday 16th March 2011. We will be using Reflector 36C for the event and are likely to link GB7CD in Cardiff and MB6BA simplex link in Barry for this event, we would welcome any contacts via Reflector 36C for the duration of the event. As well as operating on D-Star the schools will also be operating on the HF Bands with both voice and PSK Modes being employed. The school is being judged for a national award on this event and are currently third based on the work they have done leading to this event, with your help we would like to get them into first place and win this national award. Apologies if you receive this more than once as I will be posting in all the relevant yahoo groups that involve D-Star to gain maximum exposure for this event. Please look out for us and call in on the day. Thanks and 73 DAVE (2W0RUH) |

Re: Help FOR DSTAR DD
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýGerry, ? I¡¯m assuming that you are referring to blocking access from Source addresses. Because, of course, routing 10. Out the router ain¡¯t going anywhere. If you block ¡°EXCEPT 10.0.0.0/8¡± then aren¡¯t you going to allow ALL of the ID-1s access to the Internet? ? I¡¯m guessing that you meant to block DNS for everything except the gateway. This indeed has an impression of working, but it doesn¡¯t restrict me from getting access. Direct IP access, or a well-populated? host table would get around it. ? Remember, this is blocking at the router to the Internet and therefore shouldn¡¯t really impact a local ID-1 to access local 10.0.0.X resources. ? Ed ? From: D-STAR_23cm@... [mailto:D-STAR_23cm@...]

I'm afraid that will not work because you have to have the 10. address range available for other DD nodes and if you want to do any kind of local based services.? My suggestion would be to put filters in the Internet Router blocking everything EXCEPT 10.0.0.0
/ 8 address range.?? Another way would be to block DNS queries TCP/UDP 53 outside of Gateway PC.? This way, when you try to browse to an address it will not go anywhere.
