It works AWESOME ! I stay connected most of the time and I just picked up a DVAP so I will have access at work as well !
I had to get the fancy lexan case for it as well..
Well it looks like Mole has the X Reflector working, I am able to link to it, now that I figured out how to edit the files in Linux.. Linux is kind of a steep learning curve as some of it has to be done by command line. Luckily I still remember DOS stuff so it wasn't too hard..
Now I just...
Yes its all on the Raspberry pi. I just started the Trial period with the coordinated pair of frequencies. Not sure how long it stays in a Trial period before it becomes permanent and gets published in the repeater lists, but there shouldn't be any issues.
I would be up for a Starnet Group!
The KC1ACI Repeater is now in operation. Located in Central Massachusetts. I have done some link testing with the W9WDX Repeater and we are in business. D Star of course.
Lets get this party started !!
Do we have enough members using D-Star to try and set up a NET ?
I Know Mole is working hard at getting a reflector set up, and already has an operational Repeater. I also have an operational repeater and have been able to link into the W9WDX repeater.
Any interest ??

My Logic tells me that the PTT and TX Audio goes to the TX Radio and the rest go to RX Radio and ground to both ?? This is on a repeater set up.
Thanks

My GM-300's will be here on Wednesday. Do you have a wiring setup I could use. ie which wires from which radio goes to the DB9. I have the pin outs for the GM300 just not sure hot to wire them together. Haven t found anything other than wiring as a repeater with no DStar.
Yes the Raspberry is a DMZ on the router so its wide open for all traffic, not the smartest but what can a hacker get ... Did you get the Beta firmware yet, I believe thats the key. I believe when you tried the link my ircDDB and Repeater programs closed down, not sure what happened there..
Great QSO today, glad its working. Right now my system is just set as simplex on my TS-2000 since I have some work to get done on the TKR-820. That BETA firmware is Awesome !! This will open the door for alot of linking via homebrew boards !!
I'll try to listen out for your testing !
Attached is a quick photo of my link this morning, I can key up and get a ack beep so not sure if it woirks or not. I'll be home later and try again ..

KC1ACI is the repeater and I am using a MoenComm board with Beta software from Dutch Star. I'm running ircDDB on a Raspberry Pi. I tried to connect yesterday, it said connected and I made a couple of transmissions and got the ack beep back so I assumed it was connected...
I'll be around later...
Was the D Star up today ?? Tried to link a few times. I was having issues on my side learning the ID-31 .. I have the Moencomm board and I can connect to Repeaters and reflectors no problems at all..
Craig
Let me know if we can schedule some testing time..
Well right now I am having some issues with the TKR-820. Could need a tuning and alignment but not sure.
Call sign for the repeater is KC1ACI, it is already registered with ircDDB now just waiting on the gateway registrations, then you should be able to link to it.
Link commands look...
As usual I am late to this party, but just an FYI I am also building a 440 Repeater for DStar. I am using a Kenwood TKR-820 for the repeater, the same card as you but I am using a Raspberry Pi for the computer running Linux. I'll make a post when I get it done and maybe we can link the systems...
There is only 1 FM bird left operational, its not that people dont like it, its just too busy and there is only one left. It was alot different when AO-51 was still operational.
