\"D-STARLogo\"D-Star Status<\/a><\/h2>\n

I am excited to announce that the D-Star is fully operational.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

The new frequency is:
\nRX. 440.100
\nTX. 445.100
\nThis is a positive 5 MHz offset.<\/p>\n

Make sure it is set to DV not FM.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>
\nI have uploaded a list of repeaters in CSV format for the ICOM 5100 and ICOM 51.\u00a0 This list is ready to be imported.\u00a0 This is different than programming the memory channels.<\/span><\/a>\u00a0 The FSARC D-Star repeater is included in these files. [fileaway only=”IRAmID51.csv, IRAmID5100.csv”]<\/a><\/p>\n

There are very good tutorials on programming you radio on YouTube.\u00a0 They are about an hour long.<\/p>\n

An alternative to a D-Star compatible radio is the\u00a0DV3K Voice Dongle. The great thing about the Dongle is that you can take it with you as you travel. \u00a0This device is plugged into your USB port of your computer. \u00a0You can\u00a0talk around the world using just a headset with microphone! The advantage is that a radio operator who holds a technician license is now able to talk long distance. \u00a0This will appeal to the younger generation who are computer savvy. \u00a0 Amateur radio does have something for everyone!<\/p>\n

Traveling somewhere that doesn’t have a D-STAR repeater? \u00a0Not a problem! \u00a0If you live or travel outside the range of the Texarkana repeaters, you can still take advantage of D-STAR using DVAP. \u00a0\u00a0The D<\/b>igital V<\/b>oice A<\/b>cces P<\/b>oint is a small USB tranceiver that interfaces to your computer then connects to the D-STAR network. Your D-STAR radio transmits to the DVAP which then takes your traffic and sends it out over the D-STAR network. \u00a0So take your own personal D-STAR repeater with you!<\/p>\n

Here are some quick links to vendors who sell the radios. There are just a few who carry the DV Dongle.<\/p>\n

In order to take advantage of the digital features, the D-STAR device has to be registered with the D-STAR system. \u00a0However, a D-STAR radio can also be used with any analog repeater, like Texarkana’s 146.62. \u00a0So for your next radio purchase, make sure it is D-STAR compatible then you will have both worlds!<\/p>\n

Registration<\/h1>\n

The Shreveport club has graciously allowing us to register with their system.\u00a0\u00a0 The registration is a 3-step process.<\/p>\n

To help with the registration process, here is a good website\u00a0 Thanks to Dallas ARC.\u00a0 Do NOT use the gateway in the instructions, use the one below at Minden.
\nhttps:\/\/w5fc.org\/w5fc-d-star-registration-instructions\/<\/a><\/p>\n

1. After you receive your dongle or a radio, plug it in to the USB port of your computer,\u00a0 open a browser to\u00a0Minden, LA\u00a0Registration Gateway<\/a>, click on New User \/ Register.\u00a0 Enter all the information.\u00a0 Forward the YouTube video to around \u00a02:20.\u00a0 You may ignore the beginning because you already have a link to the registration \/ gateway website.<\/p>\n

2. I will need to approve your registration, so email me at KF5VWN@duck.com<\/span> or text to alert me of your registration.<\/p>\n

3. After I have approved your registration, I will notify you that it has been approved.\u00a0 You will need to log-in to the gateway a second time and complete the final step. \u00a0 There are several fields that need to be completed on the Personal Information tab.\u00a0\u00a0You will need to watch the video to see what information is needed.\u00a0 Forward the YouTube video to around 4:30 to see how to complete the final step.<\/p>\n

After entering your information in the required fields, you will need to wait for about an hour so the registration can populate around the world.<\/p>\n
