[App_rpt-users] d-star?

[Alan Adamson]

I've already done the *cheap* analog to NXDN :)... it's easy... I just connect my RTCM to the transcoded audio at the repeater.  Poof done... analog to NXDN the easy way :)

It actually sounds pretty good too...

How about a similar connection to a mototrbo system.  That would be cool!

I know this is probably old hat to most, but I think I have the world's most
connectable allstar server :).. 

I've now got a B and C module of D-star (via freestar*) that I can connect
in, my own experimental XRF reflector, I can cross link analog to digital,
etc.  What's most amazing is HOW GOOD IT SOUNDS, when the D-Star audio comes
into the allstar server.

I just decided that I didn't want to do the rptdir thing, so I'm using
chan_dstar and the dextra_client.. And it really sounds good.  I'm
scratching my head as to why this was so frowned on in the beginning of time
(not from the allstar guys, but the d-star guys).

Anyway, I think if I had everything connected up, it's like 2 full duplex
repeaters, a full duplex IRLP connection, and a d-star gateway, but 2
simplex bases, one for d-star one for allstar.. Good think I had a whole
bunch of 25W dummy loads :).

since I got everything working, I just figured I'd share. while it wasn't
brain dead easy, it wasn't too difficult either.
