  1. KJ4OVA B, 443.1375, has gateway. Feel free to play with it. Still no 1.2 GHz A port repeater.
  2. KJ4OVA on 443.1375 is local only until gateway issues are resolved. The 1.2 GHz, A port is down for now. Sorry for the bad news folks.
  3. This system has gateway access to the internet, feel free to give it a workout. Remember to set RPT1 and RPT2 in your radio.
  4. 1251.300 Simplex DATA. KJ4OVA_B is UHF and KJ4OVA_A is 1.2. Courtesy of the 1K Dstar Association. Thanks to James N0XIA and W4ORL Ralph.

  6. Reminder for the digital enthusiast: CQ Worldwide RTTY contest this weekend. September 26-27, 2009 http://www.cqwwrtty.com/
  7. D-STAR repeaters W4AES_B 443.6 25, KJ4MMC_C 145.290 and KJ4MMC_A 1.2G all working great and no problems to report.
  8. The EchoIRLP node is also down due to equipment failure. Old age of equipment is catching up. Will try and get it back on soon IF possible.
  9. The W4AES 444.125 Analog repeater is running on reduced power looks like the power module may be failing, output is down to 15 watts.
  10. W4PLB__C 145.150 D-STAR repeater has an active gateway as of today. Located in Sanford. I-4 corridor is pretty well covered now.
  11. W4PLB is located north of Orlando in Sanford at I-4 & Hwy 46, UHF to follow soon as antenna can be installed. Will be on 442.300 MHz.

  13. K9AES D-STAR repeater on the air at AES Milwaukee on 145.235. They are working on getting the internet gateway online next.
  14. APRS tracking should be more reliable on KJ4MMC and W4AES due to updated D-STAR Monitor software.
  15. W4AES_B range check: K4IQW getting into W4AES port B on 443.625 MHz from Deltona on 5 watts mobile this morning coming from New Smyrna.
  16. More ID-880H tips: If you rotate the dial after pushing it you can also change banks if you have your frequency list divided into banks.
  17. ID-880H tip: If you are in Memory Name mode, to quick check the Frequency, push the main VFO knob to cycle between name or frequency.
  18. Some links to bookmark: dstarinfo.com http://twt.gs/Rzi4aK and http://twt.gs/dstarusers
  19. All repeaters, D-STAR and Analog are operating great. Next project is to move the VHF D-STAR 4 bay antenna to the top of the tower.
