[Dstar] My experimental homebrew D-Star repeater interface project

[Michael Carey]

Hi Everybody,
I've just uploaded a video to YouTube showing my homebrew hardware 
interface that connects a Satoshi DV Node Adapter based repeater to an 
Icom ID-RP2C controller.

This allows direct control of the CMX589 GMSK modem chip and radios from 
the RP2C controller. Other interesting possibilities that are possible 
with this kind of setup is a DV repeater on 10m or 6m.
While there are no commercial D-Star radios on 10m or 6m at the moment, 
there are a few DV adapters that can D-Star enable FM-N radios and the 
IC-9100 is being released next year which will have DV D-Star on 10m and 6m.
Michael.
