sorry but “we on IRLP really don’t this.” what? You don’t want it? With all due
respect you don’t speak for all of IRLP any more than you speak for D-STAR. We
have users on both sides of both that would like to be bridged. Regarding D-STAR
I think a periodic net would be fine. Perhaps that is a compromise that would
make you, a single Allstar/D-STAR user okay? </DIV>

<DIV>But not the same for IRLP. It is a linking method just like Allstar.
Allstar is many times better but both agree in not sending courtesy tones, CW
ID’s, etc. Just clean receiver audio. So again with all due respect what is your
issue? I am not the one that raised these points to begin with.</DIV>

<DIV>This is going off topic... the packaged D-STAR repeaters are
terrible and have a 1uV receive sensitivity. Only by adding a preamp
can one improve. But they also have poor adjacent channel
selectivity. Adding a preamp only adds to a problem. With this
aside:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We need a quick and easy bridge to D-STAR. We had a user one
night hold his microphone up to his D-STAR rig and went back and
forth linking it over our 2m repeater. It was a hit on both sides!
Our users loved talking with New Zealand and vice versa.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I need a bridge to IRLP. Are there instructions anywhere? I
realize that Mr. Cameron is opposed to this but well... unlike his
begging for donations to pay for his massive web hosting services
that are nothing more than a single dedicated server we are happy to
put our own dedicated server online in our own data center. But I
need to know how to create the bridge.</DIV>

would like to point out that the specifications for both are
available and in the case of D-STAR there are functional options
that can be used with any radio to create both a repeater and an end
user radio, plus there are other radios in development that will
support it. I will also point out that some folks take the
"experimentation" part of ham radio seriously and that we accept
that not everyone will want to use our systems because of
that.<BR><BR>Matthew Pitts<BR>N8OHU<BR>AllStar nodes 28713, 28910,

just my opinion. I didn't mean to offend anyone. It is certainly
alright to ask. I was just pointing out that the current VHF/UHF

Allstar there are a couple of key things on audio quality. One
is the fact that usbradio can and often does have serious

considerations are levels and equalization (needing

<DIV>Sorry Doug. I thought I was asking a technical question not
a political question. I have heard dstar repeaters with good and
bad audio as well. the allstar codec seems to be one of the best
however there are some nodes with there levels way off and sound
awful. anyway I was asking from a tech side not a political
side. I did not realize this was a sensitive topic</DIV>

can be bridged to anything else in numerous ways but I was
wondering why you would want to mess up our wonderful Allstar

any of the current amateur digital audio on Allstar. A circuit
is only as good as its worst audio! That being said you can do
anything you want but if I hear that kind of audio on any
circuit I maintain I would disconnect it unless it is an
