Using the DV-RPTR board together with the AMBE vocoder board as a D-Star "front end" for a Motorola MCS2000 radio.
Once
configured with the Control Center software, the DV-RPTR board can be
unplugged from the host computer and will operate in standalone mode. A
display can also be added to the DV-RPTR board to show incoming
callsign and short message data.
Both simplex and operation
through the VK5REX 70cm D-Star repeater is demonstrated. VK5REX B is
currently operating with a homebrew RF deck using two Motorola MCS2000
radios.
Many thanks to Mark VK3EME who was kind enough to answer my CQ via the DCS014 B reflector.
