Special D-Star Announcement
Recent number of updates over the past few months by DSTARInfo.com
Cleaning Database
To make sure that we don’t have any stale repeater listings, the site now periodically checks and updates the status of repeaters using information from the USTrust Server, ircDDB, and APRS reports. This allows us to populate a Last_Active field so that we can better determine if repeaters are still active. As of now, of the 1081 systems that we have listed, we haven’t gotten any information on 76 of the systems
If your system was previously in the database, but no longer shows, please drop me a note at info@DSTARInfo.com and we’ll get you updated.
If your system is not listed, feel free to head to www.DSTARInfo.com/update and add it.
Icom ID-31A Information
In case you haven’t seen it, the ID-31A comes with a worldwide list of repeaters loaded from the factory. You can literally, turn on the radio from out of the box, enter your call sign, enable the GPS and it will show you the closest 440MHz D-STAR repeater to you. And then select it and you are on the air. Not a single RPT has to be programmed.
To support this, Icom approached us at www.DSTARInfo.com for much of the information the fills the radio. Since then, we’ve created files explicitly for the radio to update the repeater list from the factory. The radio has 800 memories available for repeaters and I believe there were 796 of them used originally. So we have had to split the world into the Eastern and Western Hemisphere. But you can easily update the radio with the latest and greatest information.
Make sure that your repeater and its 440MHz module are correctly listed (http://www.dstarinfo.com/standard-repeater-list.aspx )
Updated Downloads
In the past we had created some downloads that you could use to populate your radio memories very quickly and easily, but they weren’t that flexible. Now we’ve hopefully got the answer for you.
• The new downloads section allows for you to download a group of memories for a country or state anywhere in the world. This is a list of repeaters in an area, each programmed with the UR of CQCQCQ.
• You can also specify a specific location, like your home or zip code and DSTARInfo will create a download file that contains your closest repeaters, each programmed with the CQCQCQ, I, E, U, and linking commands for your 3 favorite reflectors. • And especially for the ID-31, you can download an updated repeater list.
• And finally, you can update an updated Call Sign list that includes all of the latest reflectors.
