This site is dedicated to helping D-STAR users worldwide. From basic information on what D-STAR is, to detailed technical information, this site can hopefully solve any of your cravings!
Hamvention® is the largest gathering of radio amateurs in the US annually.
Friday, May 16th through Sunday, May 18th, come and visit with over 35,000 of your fellow hams.
This year's D-STAR activities will be a little different due to some circumstances out of our control. We will not be having the events at the Drury Inn, but will still have the D-STAR Meet and Greet
Icom will be providing in ID-52A PLUS as a giveaway!
D-STAR Meet and Greet Thursday, May 15th, 6:00-8:00PM
Marion's Piazza 1320 N. Fairfield Road Beavercreek, Ohio (937) 429-3393
If you can't make it to Marion's, at least drop by and say hello at the Icom booth.
There's a lot of opportunities for experimentation with D-STAR. We want to encourage people to expand and create new things in Amateur Radio.
BUT, we please ask that you do not do any experimentation or linking to the busy reflectors, especially REF001 and REF030. There have been numerous instances of people intentionally and unintentionally setting up hotspots that cause these reflectors to be linked to other reflectors. This practice is NOT DESIRED for the busy reflectors. This practice has also caused several loops that have made the reflectors to be unavailable to all.
Another item to look at is audio quality. There have been a number of stations appearing with either very low or very hot audio from non-DSTAR radios and devices. Please get some audio reports and adjust your mic volume accordingly.
Includes FM repeaters for US D-STAR Repeater Downloads
