After messing about with the settings in Menu>Set>Network>IP Address, and after connecting my IC-9700 to my shack PC via a LAN cable, I've managed to successfully upload a picture from the ST-4001W software to the IC-9700, I'm now looking to try transmitting a picture and receiving some back.

I'm not sure what the etiquette is for sending pictures via repeaters and Gateways/Reflectors. Is there a document suggesting what is and isn't acceptable?

I'm also not sure if there's anyone about my area, near Chesterfield in Derbyshire, UK, who might like to try swapping pictures using D-Star? I think it is possible to swap pictures with other radios than the IC-9700 as well, by using D-Star.

Thanks Ed,

That's quite early in the morning over here, I'll try to remember to set the system up and set an alarm on my phone.

Cheers

not many rules about where you can send.
Please DON'T send on REF030C or REF001C or any busy reflector.
Announce yourself and intentions before sending pictures.
Listen before you send

To others on the air, it tends to sound like silence or maybe beeping, in any case, Others may think that you are trying to talk but not getting any audio out. So please make sure that others know that you are sending first.

I looked up the conversion from MDT to UTC and it suggested that 07:30pm (MDT) was 01:30 UTC and 02:30 BST, but it's now 01:37 UTC (02:37 BST) and I've linked the local gateway to REF055D but I've not heard anything yet.

Maybe I'm 24hours too early? Looking again at the time conversion, it's saying it's 07:30pm (MDT) on the 6th, but Wednesday is the 7th...

I managed to stay awake long enough to take part in that net last night and received several pictures and managed to send a couple.? I need to get my head round setting the size of the pictures for better resolution, but I'll look at that later today.

After talking on the net I figured out how to use the ST-4001W to "Save" rather than "Transfer" to the SIM card, so that's another step up the learning curve.
