To all testing Ftp via DD at my qth
testing ftp via DD Looks like i have this set up right so far. i can log into my ftp from repeater k2dig through nj2dg. would like some test, to see if this works for anyone else. ill keep it hooked up for a day or so. set cs to ur rpt1 rpt2 my ka2oon your dd rpteater w gateway your call be sure your split is set to rps set your ftp program to ftp site 10.105.255.144 thats my g2 ip address login should be anonymous no password would like you to upload small text file w ur name and call etc there r a few small files you might try downloading in any case reply w how it worked for you thanks killing time with D-Star Jim (ka2oon)

Georgia Statewide ARES Network Receives Funding $$$ for D-STAR Equipment
Great example of what's possible with good planning. See message below & attached presentation. $$$ Georgia statewide network receives funding $$$ Posted by: "WB4QDX" wb4qdx@... jdavis6129 Date: Thu Oct 29, 2009 4:38 pm ((PDT)) An official announcement will be released in the next few days, but it can be announced to the Amateur community that $165,000 in Federal funding has been secured by Georgia Emergency Management Agency (GEMA) to complete the statewide Georgia D-STAR network. Equipment has already been ordered and is beginning to arrive. This is a project that began back in 2005 with a vision for Amateur Radio emergency communications in Georgia. Georgia Public Broadcasting's former Director of Engineering Mark Fehlig, WA6NGC, seized an opportunity to install two Amateur Radio antennas on each of nine tall television towers that provide statewide Public Television coverage as a part of the required conversion to Digital Television. Fehlig designated Georgia ARES to control the use of these facilities for emergency communications. The next task was to determine what technology or mode would provide the best use of these sites for emergency communications. After considering many modes and technologies including linked FM repeaters and packet. About this time, the D-STAR digital technology was emerging as a state of the art platofrm for voice and data communications. D-STAR allows flexible linking of repeaters and provides simultaneous voice and low speed data along with high speed data with Internet connectivity on 1.2 GHz. 2 meter, 440 and 1.2 GHz voice and data repeaters will be installed on each of the nine television towers of Georgia Public Broadcasting (GPB). These nine towers are strategically located to provide near statewide Public Television coverage. They will also provide similar Amateur Radio coverage from two antennas located between 500 and 600 feet above ground and connected with 1 5/8" transmission lines. GPB will also provide indoor equipment space with backup power at each site. Connectivity on GPB's robust DS-3 data network will be provided with Internet access to allow flexible linking of repeaters using the D-STAR technology. Two of the D-STAR repeaters are already in operation at Pembroke, Georgia near Savannah and atop Stone Mountain serving the Atlanta metro area. The funding also provides 20 dual-band D-STAR radios for installation at EMA offices around the state, a portable UHF D-STAR repeater for emergency deployment, three 1.2 GHz D-STAR radios with laptops for sending data and photos from field locations and a robust reflector to serve the Georgia network during emergency conditions and available for general use during non-emergency times. The complete Georgia D-STAR network should be in operation by early 2010. The Georgia network will complement other D-STAR systems planned or in operation in neighboring states of Alabama, Florida and South Carolina creating regional capabilities in the Southeast. Weather systems approach Georgia either as severe thunderstorms and tornadoes from the West or tropical systems from the Gulf or the Atlantic. Having flexible statewide communications will provide new capabilities to support emergency communications. John Davis WB4QDX District Emergency Coordinator Georgia ARES

Backhaul on Motorola Canopy 5.8 GHz
18
I am looking for information from users that my have attempted to utilize the Motorola Canopy equipment as a back-haul to provide WAN access at a remote site. We are preparing to install our second D*STAR Cluster including DD on a 2000' tower that is some 30 miles away from our current tower. Paths calculate out to be within acceptable range, we are also utilizing the largest parabolic dishes commercially available for Canopy equipment. Frequencies will be on the 5.8 GHz since regional partners would not approve our request to utilize 4.9 GHz licensed service. What I am curious about is if anyone has attempted to test this type of setup for your location. We are utilizing grant funds for the purchase of equipment so we have backing from our Emergency Management Agencies. The system was designed by several members but, path information was calculated using Radio Mobile Deluxe and confirmed with calculations by a retired AT&T Microwave Systems Technician. Thanks for your assistance.

DNS address

every thing i have read as to the DNS address on DD says 10.0.0.1 I cant get this to work on the mann mchn K2DIG, however this DNS works fine on the Martinsville Mchn NJ2DG. a local guy said the correct DNS address on all systems should be 10.0.0.2 I've had no luck with that at all. Please note ip addresses (not names) seem to work fine on K2DIG. Can any one clear this up. JIM (KA2OON)

Disappointed with 23cm digital data
12
I must say I agree with the assessment by KB9MWR regarding the so called high speed digital data. The DD is so poorly impemented that hacking into the modem and running AX25 would probably be better. Full duplex would certainly help, but why bother, off the shelf WiFi gear is much cheaper, much faster, and much easier to configure. I have done some tests to a DD gateway and used several internet speed tests to get a throughput of about 70 to 90KBps. That was with me as the only user. Add more users, especially hidden users, and I'm sure the speed would drop like a rock. Worst of all, there is no way to tell what the quality of the link is. Strong signals don't necessarily mean good signals, but with this system you absolutely need a strong signal. Sorry for such a negative post. I might be selling my ID-1 soon. Al

Metricom Pole Tops - Formerly: Backhaul on Motorola Canopy 5.8 GHz
Played with them a little bit myself. Unfortunately, without the gateway they talk to they are pretty much useless. There is a guy in California that is currently trying to hack them out without much luck.

full duplex?
5
Thanks for the comments regarding my disappointment with the DD mode. I seem to remember a ham in Canada using 2 ID1's back to back as a full duplex repeater. Has anyone tried this? Any downside? (except for the cost of 2 radios). Al
