Hi all,
The Collins Amateur Radio Club of Richardson has a new Icom repeater configured for Mixed Mode -- FM Analog and D-STAR.
Our weekly Drive Home Net, using FM Analog, will be held tonight (Sept. 10th) from 5:30 to 6:00 p.m.. Following the Net, at approximately 6 p.m., we will conduct a brief test of the repeater's D-STAR capability. If you are equipped for D-STAR, we invite to take a few minutes and join in the test. Here's the info on the repeater.
FM Analog:
441.875 PLUS 5MHz, PL=131.8 Hz
D-STAR
441.875 PLUS 5MHZ
Use CQ CQ CQ for Local Call
RPT1= N5CXX B
Gateway NOT USED
If necessary, setup RPT2 as N5CXX G
Tonight's NCS for the Drive Home Net is Kerry, K5WKS. The D-STAR test will be conducted by Frank, KR1ZAN.
We will operate the repeater for a few months exclusively in LOCAL until we get our Gateway established and announce when we are of the world-wide D-STAR Network.
We hope you can join us.
73, Frank KR1ZAN
