Amateur radio is the way to:
● generate interest in engineering,
● The skills to develop, through technical interactions and allow more young people
between to lead to an engineering or science education,
● to integrate handicap people
● to develop social skills,
● personality development through to performance and enjoyment through success in radio test's
Compared to promote sports in the context of amateur radio contests
● contribute to global understanding and integration of promote
foreign residents
● the community to assist in disaster response. AI4UE

picture you see is my first prototype, upgraded, Display housing from DC4GD
Here the first pictures of the ADD ON display.(first ,only on the prototype) Also, thinking about installing in this big Lid a Multiband Data 9.6 k Transceiver,Then the DV Adapter is a Radio by his own!Plus all other Base Station or HF capability.
And a Battery power source can go also in the Lid. Both to get on low $ in China, $100 +_ for VHF/UHF 23cm. You all are welcome to help design it or add stuff!
There will be some new stuff coming out from me soon. But always in a way that all owners can easily upgrade!
No changes to the main unit! Just Add on as Extras !

Now we have a HF D-Star Hotspot
still working out settings! only for short test on air
Important news for Yaesu owners! I have tested FT 817 and FT 847, we found out that FT817 JP5 closed for HF,and for VHF/UHF JP5&6 open! Try them out.
I had to set the Hotspot settings to get it working, but now it runs, 9/19/10.
(simplex for now) IC706MK2G on off center fed dipole @100 feet. Located in Burlington NC USA, I think the only one in the World, at this time.
It is on the Gateway ! You can use your DV Adapter ( in your call you can sent Gateway commands) or Jonathans Client to go on HF on air and test it out, and hear yourself on AK4EG C ,so you come out on the Livestream. But be in the background if you hear someone already on the Livestream. Regular NC traffic first please. I will post the QRG right here and will change it, so different distance can be worked.
We made first contacts on D-rats over the DV Adapter, It is working ! On USB port!
We have made 3 videos on how to build the DV Adapter from the kit, slow and with many comments,in English, from out of the box till the first test. The link is here:D-Star DV Adapter building from Kit I added the Translation in spain: DV ADAPTADOR It will follow : Italy, Portuguese, French, Thanks to the Hams who helped translating., Upload will follow soon!

Peter AI4UE and Steve W3AHL along with Don WD4CWE completed the assembly of the new 8 ELE LOG ready for the tower.. New T28
to be assembled next..
This one is in Cary, but there is one more in Sanford,NC. You need to see that !
444.350 is QRV !
Echolink,Off Air for now 9/29/11
Echolink is now a Repeater. Node 476067 on
444.350Mhz, +5 MHZ 107.2hz PL tone
WB4IKY
The Dstar Repeater Today (1.2 ghz in the other building)
The new Echolink Repeater Burlington
on 444.350 MHZ +5 pl107.2 call sign: WB4IKY
and the 443.025 pl107.2 Repeater (left)
New: Can you receive 1.2 ghz from AK4EG
I try some places from Greensboro, Gibsonville,to Mebane.
It looks we will have a good coverage over Alamance County.
And this is judged on the floor height at the tower. The 1200Mhz Antenna is 120 feet higher. So play around
a little with the tool. It is also good for UHF or VHF Bands to see what is in the way to your destination.

Our Livestream from AK4EG is coming from the Icom D800 in my Ham shack in Burlington,NC. It can be used to test your Audio and incoming signal.
Hams with no D*Star gear can hear the Net on Sunday nights @ 9pm, and the Central Carolina Net on Thursday nights at 8.30 pm.
We updated the dstar repeater to a new larger cabinet. Photos here and at the pictures link
Don WD4CWE and Peter AI4UE worked the whole day on the change out.
UHF and VHF works from the tower's top antenna, a Dual-Band Decibel Products Antenna. (Ever seen one of these?) 16 bays on UHF, 8 Bays on VHF. The original DB-420 16 bay has been dedicated to the FM repeater on 443.025 and works great.

Microwave Link
When D-STAR repeaters are connected via 10GHz microwave, the D-STAR system transfers received data to another repeater site. You can also make a CQ call to a specified repeater area.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Internet Gateway Relay
When D-STAR repeaters are connected with the Internet gateway, the D-STAR system relays the received data over the Internet. Microwave links and Internet gateways can be
combined even during one contact. Your message will get through to anywhere in the D-STAR system.
