isit a dstar stsyem or analog system?

or did dude just put up a single dstar reapeater

or did you already answer that and my fever is kicking in

Apparently dude added a D-Star repeater, and linked it in to his other analog repeaters in the area (right?)

Ummmm...That's great, but is the rest of the system D-Star or just the one receiver?

If he doesn't have a D-star tranmitter as well, then what is the use.

If on the other hand it is the entire repeater tied into the rest of his repeaters, then I see...

that 455' tower in waldorf would be a perfect location.

Goddard ARC is non delayed, straight from the relay/monitor station at Goddard.

The way the repeaters/controllers are configured, you'll likely never see a "DIU" for the DSTAR repeaters.

I didn't ask how it works for the "digital" data repeaters we used. But it would seem to me that if the controller can pass the data, why not digital voice??

BTW, the digital voice sounded ...

OK..so about 100+ hammies (and hamsexuals) provided voice and data communications to the 31st Marines Corps Marathon yesterday.

The voice part is eyes on the route at every mile marker, water point and aid station.

The data part including APRS, is to provide data back to the Marathon headquarters ...

Isn't it still a little cold there in February??
