[Alexandria Radio Club Reflector] D-star

[KA4GFY]

Hi Don,

Look at:
dstarinfo.com
dstarusers.org

DSTARinfo has a really neat calculator that will make programming easy, PowerPoint slides from Dasyton Hamvention and Orlando Hamcation training, repeater directories and downloadable files for programming  some radios.

Be sure to join the club when you start using the repeaters.

73,
Rich, KA4GFY
Alexandria Radio CLub Trustee and Chief Instructor
