Connecting multiple D-STAR repeaters or D-RATS systems together.


Eric H. Christensen
 

I'm trying to put this together in my head in a way that will make sense to me.

If I have multiple D-STAR repeater sites, what are my options for linking users on all of these sites together using D-RATS without using the Internet? Would I be using individual D-RATS servers at each site and then linking them together or would I be trying to provide a connection from each site back to a single D-RATS server?

I can see using TCP/IP over a microwave link but is there a way to use D-STAR itself? Can I use, say the 1.2GHz data modules, to link between the sites?

Hi,

These one of these groups might be more appropriate to find an answer:

I'm sure you know it's not as simple as your post is showing otherwise you would not be asking.

1)? Satellite link, VIASAT, Hughes Net, INMARSAT, Iridium or maybe Starlink, all expensive and still Internet.

2)? Lease line, probably the best option as a RF solution can cause Intermod interference? Still expensive.

3)? Use a band that your repeaters do not operate on..

4). WiFi or other line of sight method.

5)? Yes on 1.2 GHz but not data modules.? You can not add a 1.2 GHz data module to a D-Star repeater.? You'll need a 1.2 GHz? transceiver.

Sorry I do not have a specific answer.? Hope? the above helps.
