Good News!! After a long wait the W5FC D-STAR repeater stack was successfully reconnected to the Internet today July 17, 2016. We ran into some issues with the VHF repeater and while that repeater will link and unlink the RF output power is very weak – further troubleshooting will be required at a later time but the UHF and 1.2GHz repeaters should be just fine – please let us know if you have any issues or questions just drop us a note here.
If you were ever curious about what the W5FC D-STAR Repeater Stack/Rack looks like check out the slide slow below.
And a short movie of the W5FC D-Star antennas:
Checked it with the DVDongle, and it works great!
I’ve been playing with my ID-5100 since Father’s Day. Great fun now hearing the reflectors and nets. Thank you guys for all the hard work.
