D-STAR | ||||||
D-STAR (Digital Smart Technologies for Amateur Radio) is an FDMA and GMSK digital voice and data protocol. D-STAR compatible radios are available for VHF, UHF, and 1.2 GHz amateur radio bands. In addition to the over-the-air protocol, D-STAR also support network connectivity, enabling D-STAR radios to be connected to the Internet to stream voice and data communications.

D-STAR Gateways The D-STAR gateway is a Linux based computer that run the D-STAR gateway, D-STAR plus, and Monlink software. The D-STAR gateway connects to the D-STAR repeater controller and to the Internet. The gateway controller the repeater and directs connections to and from the gateway and DStar network. DStar Reflector. The D-STAR controller also interfaces with four D-STAR repeaters - VHF, UHF, 1.2 GHz voice, and 1.2 GHz data.
The reflector is a web server located at a data center with a high-speed Internet connect. The reflector accepts connections from D-STAR gateways and DV devices - like Dongles and DV access points. It then redistributes the information to all connected gateways and devices. Each reflector has several modules - A, B, C, D, and E Example REF030B. and redistributes DV information to all stations connected to a module. It acts as a digital repeater or voice bridge. The difference is that the reflector's inputs and outputs are digital rather than RF, with the DV to RF conversion happening remotely. Reflector have be enhanced by adding a dashboard page that is available on the web. The dashboard will list all the inbound and ongoing reflector’s links - plus individual connections. The primary Georgia reflectors are REF030B and REF030C. D-Star Repeaters D-STAR Radios examples
Basic radio operations For radios with a “DR” mode: you will want to select your repeater, Link to Reflector, and then 30 C. Once linked, you will have to switch UR in the radio to “CQCQCQ” otherwise you will not be heard on the remote system. In the web calculator, for Function, select Local Repeater with Gateway. Then select the same module for Destination Module as the Source Module. DR radios select Use Reflector.
