Programming your radio for the W6CX Digital Voice repeater

[email protected] users -- We¡¯ll soon be using our new groups.io forum.? For now, you¡¯ll be finding posts about the Digital Voice repeater that could refer to both D-STAR and DMR.

[email protected] users ¨C thanks for letting us post here also.? We will move this kind of post to the new group very soon.

This is not a tutorial, just the basic info.? We do plan on some pages for newbies to DMR.? And remember, regardless of mode, before hitting PTT, check your radio to be sure the repeater is not busy with another mode.

Frequency:? 145.000 mHz

Offset:? ??????? +2.500 mHz

DMR

? * Set up a new Zone for W6CX

? * CC = 1

? * For now, please program channels to use Timeslot 2

? * You can program channels to access BrandMeister talkgroups dynamically.

??? See possible TGs at

? * Initially we have not set up any static talkgroups.? At some point, we may set up

?? ? 310606 on TS1 as a static TG as a kind of NorCal TG, similar to how K6MDD has done??

? * Remember that dynamic TGs will be dropped 10 minutes after no local RF activity

D-Star

Check out -- the page was rewritten when MDARC moved to a new web tool, so some links may not yet be working.

If you are new to D-STAR, register your callsign:

? * Go to , click Register button

? * Fill in callsign, name, email address and what password you want on the account

? * Wait until you receive an email that your new account request has been approved

? Then log onto with your callsign (in CAPITALs)

? and the password -- if you have lost your password, you can reset it on that page under Lost Password?

? * Click on the ¡°Personal Information¡± link on the top right

? * Click the 1st box and enter a space in the ¡°Initial¡± box

? * Leave the AccessPoint box alone

? * Click the Update button

DR Mode is easiest - check your radio's manual.? When you find W6CX in your radio's Repeater List, be sure the frequencies are correct.? Some radios have been sold with older repeater tables loaded in them.

If you don't want to use DR Mode, then program a memory with the above frequencies.? Repeater callsign is W6CX***C?? (where * is really a space so the C goes in the 8th position).

Whether DR Mode or a memory, do a final check by going to your radio's Callsign function.? It will show 4 callsigns, which should be:

??? * MY = your-registered-callsign

??? * UR = CQCQCQ

??? * R1 = W6CX?? C

??? * R2 = W6CX?? G

If you link the repeater to another reflector, when done, please link back to REF014C.? Please don¡¯t leave it on any busy talk group.

More info will be coming soon¡­
