The W6CX Digital Voice repeater (145.0 +2.5 mHz) that repeats D-Star, DMR and C4FM/Fusion was upgraded yesterday. Trevor and I spent about 4 hours at the South Peak site.
The key changes were:
* DV software was changed from Pi-Star to the new WPSD by W0CHP. While Pi-Star was wonderful and many people still run it on their Pi-based digital voice hotspots, Pi-Star is no longer being maintained. Fortunately, Chip W0CHP has taken over the Pi-Star system, made major upgrades to it, renamed it WPSD and is keeping it up to date.
* Updated the firmware in the MultiMode Digital Voice Modem -- we now have the latest with various enhancements including support for the new M17 open source digital voice mode.
The new WPSD Dashboard does look a little different from our previous Pi-Star dashboard. You can check it out at .
Any feedback or comments on these changes are welcome.
