GMSK DSTAR Repeater Hardware $100

New GMSK DSTAR Repeater Hardware Project $100

The two photos below are of the new GMSK Modems that will act like a digital repeater controller. They are able to pass D-STAR signals. These two cards will enable the local repeater to connect to other internet based DSTAR Gateways and reflectors. Will W4WWM is in the process of programming the PIC Chip with new Firmware.

DARN is near

The Digital Analog Radio Network is near.

DARN defined as to mend by weaving thread across a gap that is what is being done.   Those that want to see flexibility will go with the DARN approach, as a improvement while there will be others that find it to be just annoyance.    DARN definitely fits the new Digital Analog Radio Networks.
