2m/70cm/23cm tribander base station antenna recommendation?

Matt Harrington

?

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.

?

For an antennas, I see a Diamond X6000A:

?

I also see the GP-95 and GP-98 from Comet:

?

Any recommendations would be welcome, as well as pointers to other antennas I should consider.

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: Icom ID-1 64-bit Windows drivers




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To install a working FTDI serial driver for the Icom ID-1 on 64-bit Windows:
If you have already attempted an install of the ID-1 drivers, delete both the Serial Port and the USB converter devices (check that the manufacturer is FTDI before deleting) using the Windows 7 Device Manager.
Download the FTDI v2.06.0.0 driver and run it.
In the Windows 7 Device Manager, select "Update Driver" for the "ICOM ID-1 USB DEVICE".
Browse manually, and pick "Universal Serial Bus controllers" from a list of device drivers.
Select "FTDI" as the manufacturer.
Select "USB Serial Converter" as the Model.
Select AGAIN "Update Driver" for the "ICOM ID-1 USB DEVICE".
Browse manually, and this time pick "Ports (COM & LPT)" from a list of device drivers.
Select "FTDI" as the manufacturer.
Select "USB Serial Port" as the Model.

You may have to substitute the FTDI link since it seems that version is no longer available. Try: 
version 2.08.24


I have not tried these instructions, but AE7Q has been accurate in his postings. I have the newer ID-1 disk, which had a Vista driver and it worked for Win7.

I am not a computer geek, so hopefully some one will jump in and correct any mistakes I have made in posting this response.

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.

Data Repeaters actually modules) are going to give you access to the Internet as part of the standard Icom repeater stack. Implementing the Data modules in a private network is a lot of work with minimal, even negative return.

?

If the repeater has data module, then the ID-1s can talk to the Internet. Many Internet applications such as Email work great. Don’t expect high-speed applications such as playing movies or most VOIP solutions to work.

The Data modules, since they are simplex, do not allow 2 ID-1s to talk to each other.

?

If you have 3 ID-1s and they can all hear each other, then they will function as a Ethernet hub with three ports.

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.

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.

I don't even think you'd want to use D-RATS in DD mode.

Before you try anything with the ID-1 (assuming that you are trying in DD
mode) hook the two computers to each other with a hub and make them work.
His will probably save hours or days of misguidance. If the two computers
can talk to each other through a simple switch, then replacing the switch
with the ID-1s should be transparent.

Make sure that you aren't using a switch that provides DHCP.

Re: Using High Speed Data

#785

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.)

This Saturday, October 6, ARES will conduct its annual Simulated Emergency Test.

Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina and Tennessee will be participating on a multi-state level and may use D-STAR for intra and interstate communications during the exercise.

The exercise hours will be from 0800 until late afternoon Eastern Time.

REF030 has been designated for use during the exercise. Most Georgia repeaters will be connected to REF030C for voice traffic, REF030D will be used for D-RATS data traffic.

All stations not participating in the exercise should allow use on Saturday for the SET. Any repeater interfering with the exercise will be disconnected from the reflector.

Reflector 30 is located in Atlanta, Georgia and has been funded through emergency communications grants.

Its primary purpose is to support emergency operations and training in Georgia. However, during non-emergency periods, all repeaters and users are welcome to link to reflector 30. When emergency events or training is conducted, linking may be restricted to Georgia repeaters and users or other supporting areas.

Please respect any Georgia EmComm activities that occur on the reflector.

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.
