However since there is a lot of D-STAR activity on 2m & 70cm have you considered a D-STAR mobile like the ID-880H or IC-2820H? 73, Mark, WB9QZB --- In D-STAR_23cm@..., Matt Harrington <mbh.lists@...> wrote:

I have had a GP 95 up for several years. Works fine. I prefer it to a GP 98 because it is a one piece antenna vs a two piece radiator for the GP 98. A fraction of a db less gain, but one less thing to go wrong. Buddy WB4OMG On Nov 2, 2012, at 2:43:20 AM, "Matt Harrington" wrote:

? I'm in the market for a 2m/70cm/23cm base station antenna for use with an ID-1 and a 2m/440 mobile transceiver that I haven't picked out yet.? The Yaesu FTM-350 looks good though. ?

D-STAR 23cm Ops -
Thanks for participating in the D-STAR 23cm group. If you're using or experimenting with D-STAR on 23m currently let the group know how you're using D-STAR by sending a message to the group, adding a Link in the Links area and/or Uploading a File to the Files area. Messages & articles about how you currently or plan to use the high-speed data capability would be of particualar interest to group memebers. By the way, there are already dozens of messages in the group's message log and numerous files & links in the Files & Links areas about all aspects of D-STAR. Please also let other D-STAR users, including those don't yet use D-STAR on 23cm, who aren't members of the group know about the group. D-STAR 23cm Group |

Hi Dave,

I bought two ID-1's to play with. Since the ID1's are merely a network bridge, I tried to connect them to each other without going through a DSTAR network and it worked. I found that I was getting about 96k baud out of the 128k theoretical. Good enough for FTP, email, casual web browsing, etc. Not good enough for running a DVAP or VoIP or any video. But its cool just the same. -- Joe KC2ZKI --- In D-STAR_23cm@..., "dave_mw0ruh" <mw0ruh@...> wrote:

Re: D-Rats setup with ID-1
开云体育Arnold, ? The question was specifically about using the DD mode, so I answered it that way. Since the question was about using DD mode, that’s why I suggested connecting the computers together directly first. That’s to make sure that issues such as IP addressing, local firewalls, and just figuring out how to do peer-to-peer computing works. Not everyone is a master of it. ? There definitely is reasons why you would want to run D-RATS in DD mode. If you are connected to a D-STAR repeater, you can get access to the Internet chat rooms, giving you access to other computers on the Internet using D-RATS. With the higher throughput, a lot of things work a lot better.? It also allows you to continue to talk to RF based devices as long as there is a DV-RF to Internet bridge in place. ? D-RATS, if nothing else allows you to do keyboard to keyboard messaging over DD, as opposed to loading some specific program that allows computer to computer IMs or a commercial IM service. ? And as we have done in exercises, when we have the ID-1 in an airplane, D-RATS allows the operator to communicate with the ground (text is better in a high ambient noise level environment) and the uses the same computer to upload pictures to an Internet based picture repository for others to view. One computer, one radio, and the folks on DV-DRATS think that he was on local DV RF. ? Ed ? ? From: D-STAR_23cm@... [mailto:D-STAR_23cm@...]

Re: Using High Speed Data
The Icom modules for DD are not repeaters. The ID-1 presents an Ethernet interface to plug into. ?What it does is put any Ethernet traffic it sees on its Ethernet port to RF encapsulated in a D-STAR packet. When the D-STAR packet arrives at another ID-1 (Simplex/Local) it looks at the header to see if it's addressed to it, unwraps the Ethernet packet an puts it out the Ethernet port. If it goes to a RP2D (DD Module) it is directed to the controller, which can switch it to another module (based on RPT1/RPT2) or send it to the gateway. ?When it arrives at the gateway it looks at the UR which will: Send the traffic to a remote D-STAR radio (ID-1) if the UR is set to a station (e.g. ?WF7R ? A) through the last remote gateway where that station was heard. or If your is set to the callsign associated with the gateway, it will unwrap the Ethernet packet and send it out the Internet facing Ethernet port, where if the IP address is on the public Internet the router will NAT it out to the Internet. So on the RF side, its basically all simplex (though going through the RP2D you set it to RPS which is repeater mode with 0 as the offset, there's a bit in the D-STAR header that needs to be set) -- just treat it as such. ?(Line of sight for the most part.) --- In D-STAR_23cm@..., "dave_mw0ruh" wrote:

Re: Using High Speed Data
Erik Westgard
开云体育We use Linux appliances behind our RP-1D modules to provide one to many and any to any support for ID-1s.? The (simplex) “repeater” modules are happy to accept sessions from any number of ID-1s to the Ethernet, and DNAT lets us assign a unique IP/subnet to each ID-1 attached network.? (ID-1s are Ethernet bridges).? Then the ID-1s can all reach hosts on the repeater Ethernet, and talk to each other via the repeater.? We are not fans of having databases or applications at repeater sites, so we have the applications remote on their own ID-1.? We treat the DD repeaters essentially as satellites- you uplink and downlink to them. We have tested under real life public service conditions one uplink and three downlink ID-1 radios per repeater.? And we have run up to three ID-1s at a time on different frequencies in our data trailer.? Each ID-1 can support a small IP subnet- several laptops etc.? ????You need to be careful to not saturate the links, which are about like dial up Internet.? Rich media, esp. bidirectional streaming media is not a good idea.? Basic web apps like data entry and query work like a champ. We use the Ubiquiti gear + mesh networking protocols ?on 5G to link the Linux appliances/repeater sites- so the ID-1 is a high powered user access station.? This has been ideal when you need 12-20 mile hops in high ambient RF /802.11g areas like big public events. ? Erik NY9D

Re: D-Rats setup with ID-1
The ID-1 does do slow speed data, so your suggestion of testing in DD mode is not necessary. And they said that they were able to get it to work So they're done as far as I'm aware.
