New
GARA D-Star Repeater in Operation
Arch, KT4AT, (below) installs
the new GARA, D-Star digital repeater on Monday,
September 22. The frequency is 442.8625. The
Icom D-Star repeater is using Arch's custom
controller software which improves the operation
Icom repeater greatly. This a temporary repeater,
until the conversion of the GARA GE Mastr II
can be made to digital. GARA does not have the
gateway as of yet, which can be used in the
future to connect to other digital D-Star machines
worldwide. The 442.875 analog machine is no
longer in operation. The repeater has received
excellent reports from users with hand-helds
throughout the area, along with check-ins from
Cary and near Charlotte using mobie rigs.
