    D-STAR Repeater progress

    Sorry to hear your having such bad luck with the GM300s. I've done several simplex hot spots and a couple of repeaters all using GM300s and with great results. I would be happy setup the radios and Star Board for you. I still have one of the first beta Star Boards running on the hot spot in...

    DIY Homebrew non-ICOM Dstar Repeater
