[Alexandria Radio Club Reflector] D-star

[mcclude1 .]

All, I apologize if this isn't the right forum but I wanted to take the
opportunity.  As a new (still awaiting a testing date) operator I would
really like to learn more about DStar functionality and how to us it.  Is
there a good source that I can go that will give me solid DStar training?
 I am currently operating an IC-7100 mobile (receive only)  : )



Thanks,

Don
