[d-star] ID-1 Count

[Mark Thompson]

I would suggest you might want to contact the hams that support the Marine Corp marathon in the Washington D.C. area. This is a large public event held in October every year. 

They used to use packet radio to support the event, but last year used D-STAR high speed data with ID-1s point-to-point and I also believe they used data repeaters. 

There was a detailed email about this a while back on the Illinois Digital Ham group and it still should be in the message log. The email had both observations & technical information discovered while using high-speed data at the event.

I have this idea to use D-Star as primary for the Marathon this year.  We
will need at least 4 ID-1s.

- Trailer uplink- St. Paul- EW has one 
- Net 1 (Golden Valley) 
- Net 2 (Henn Cty Van)
- Net 3 (Doug Reed has one)

Ed J has one 

I want to get two more 1.2 DD repeaters up on good sites by race day so we
have three available - it would be nice if they were linked but they can
serve as primary/backup as long as they can be reached from the trailer
(database uplink)

We have not tested the uplink capability - it might be a little slow - the
idea that the database is sitting in the trailer and not at a repeater site 

We can always use packet if we lose a repeater
