D-Star Update
 

D-Star

Our D-Star 1.2 GHz voice and data repeaters are both operational.

On Monday, december 24, 2007, Dennis (KI4GZY) and Emmett (K3EP) spent 3 hours drilling and installing the 3x polyphasers onto the copper ground bus bar, inserting the duplexer jumper cables from the duplexers to the polyphasers (LMR-400), to bring the 1.2 GHz voice and data online using the same antenna. KF4HR and K3EP had a short QSO on 1.2 GHz DV around 1730 hours, and then Butch had a lengthy QSO with WA6YTD (Darryl in San Francisco) through our gateway to the Mount Diablo D-STAR 1.2 GHz repeater (K6MDD A). You can also talk on the 1.2 GHz repeater via our 2m port. Thanks Dennis for all the FB Cabling!
