Who in the club has a D-Star radio?

Title pretty much says it all - who has a D-Star radio that is signed up for the club? Now that we have a working repeater, it would be fun to have a D-Star net :)

I just signed up and have that capability. The next question is what are the frequencies along with any necessary tones to access the repeaters for this group?

I live in Claremont and Sunset Ridge as well as a number of other spots are accessible to me.

Here's a link to the gateway dashboard with all of the repeater info: ircDDB QRGs and Maps. The repeater defaults to connecting to reflector XRFWDX after 20 minutes of inactivity, but is open for users to connect to any reflector.

No D-star here dude, the cost is way out of my price range.i could not afford it . If there was a known project to interface a PC driven encode/decode then i can play D-star.

Used 880 ever where under $400. No special antenna needed.
 
All of the W9WDX equipment is online and working great. There are a couple of us in CA that use it and we would really like to see the usage expand to the members of the site.

The cost of an Icom ID-31 is really pretty affordable (for ham radio gear). If you don't have a local D-Star repeater, you can build your own access point for your existing VHF/UHF radio for aobut $100 or buy a DVAP dongle turnkey solution for about $200.

If anyone would like to set up a sched to meet up on the XRFWDX Xreflector, please post up!
 
I've got an ID-880H and IC-2200H. The closest D*Star repeaters to me are about 20 - 25 miles. WF4X in Freeprot, FL. there's a mode B and C. The B node has limited coverage for some reason but I can get into the C node. The C pretty much stays connected to reflector 37C. I am just getting started with D*Star although I've had the rigs for more than a year and half. Not many stations around here. I was just looking into a dvap and setting up a hot spot. Any pointers or comments would be welcome.
I think I can also get into the KF4OEC machine in Crestview, FL. Both the Ops get fussy when someone links or unlinks their systems. That's why I'm considering setting up a hot spot.

You can build your own if you have a spare VHF/UHF radio or buy one. If you like, start a new thread about it, and we can walk you through your options, plus pros/cons on each approach.
