Hello to the group,
Just want to give an update on the home brew GMSK digital repeater.
I am getting closer to the operations of the digital repeater. I have been running a lot of test to set the configuration up for the GMSK modem. With the new setting we got audio to come a cross the D-Star radio from the repeater. The audio is not quite ready for prime time but it’s a start. It looks like I need to condition the audio TX line to bring the audio to a level that is understandable. Right now I’m getting the R2D2 sound and on some occasion you can hear legible audio.
If anybody out there has a D-Star radio [in the Madison / Huntsville area], tune to UHF repeater 443.025+ offset and tell me what you hear if you can. You can send e-mail by way to the group e-mail.
I’ve also pick up a HP server in to serve as a home-brew ICOM-compatible G2 Gateway. The program is called dstar_g2_gwy. Here is where the Linux guru come in and install and configure the dstar _g2_gwy. As soon I get the GMSK repeater working fully, I will then turn to install CentOS 5.3 to run the Gateway.
