Hi Paul,

Glad you got one and if I can help in any way with the setup just ask. I'll look forward to making the contact via GB7WP or maybe a D-Star simplex contact.... Would be my first :-).

Take a look at my website for the basic setting on the D-Star setup www.dmrk.co.uk

73 for now and Happy Playing...

I have a 2820 that belongs to the school club sitting here waiting to be programmed as well...We have a local D-Star repeater, but not being interested in D-Star I have never used it, or bothered to programe the radio onto D-Star.
But I think it would be good for the School club if I could programe it, so one day I'll get around to it.

Hi Dave have dowloaded a memory file and have deleted repeaters I will not be using have also found some good sites for info .
like this
http://www.dstarinfo.com/Calculator/DSTAR%20Web%20Calculator.aspx?Source=GB7YD

Still confusing though if I have to set up a repeater on the fly.

I will be monitoring wp so giz a call and hopefully i will be able to reply.

Regards
Paul

Hi Daxi
I would set it up and give it a go it is a shame to have it there and not try it out.
