Basic D-Star information

To use GB3IN in digital mode you will need to set the following in your D-Star enabled radio.

Basic settings to get you working

MyCall your callsign

Ur Call CQCQCQ

RPT1 GB3IN C (note 2 spaces between call and "C") C is for module C which is by convention 2m.

RPT2 GB3IN G (note 2 spaces between call and "G") G is for module G which is the gateway or network.

So with the above set you'll be able to talk to stations using the repeater or coming in from the Gateway.

Simple Linking

You can make a link to another gateway or reflector by changing the 'Ur Call' setting to where you want to link to, for example set "REF005AL" in Ur Call and you will be able to connect to the UK reflector, or example set "GB7SF CL" in Ur Call will link you to GB7SF port C the 2m port.

To establish the link once you have setup as above you need to key up for half a second ....shortly after you unkey you will here a status message from the gateway telling you the link is established.

Once you have made the link you need to revert UrCall back to CQCQCQ before making a call....so you can see you need to program commands like this to memory as it takes ages to do it manually.

Unlinking

When you finish using the link please Unlink, to do this set Ur Call to " U" this is the U in the 8th or last position in Ur Call

Again set this up in memory for unlinking.
