<DIV>I’m 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> </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

not a political question. I have heard dstar repeaters with
good and bad audio as well. the allstar codec seems to be one

would disconnect it unless it is an emergency.<BR
