All,

I am sure everyone is aware of two or possible three D-STAR 
programs for the DVAP. 

The first is the most common one which is Robin's AA4RC DVAPTool that is available for the Raspberry Pi, Windows, Linux, 
and Mac OS X. 

Then, there is the complex but powerful G4KLX 
ircddbgateway/DStarRepeater (includes DVAP) software package.

Some
 are even aware of the simple GUI interface but very functional and 
nearly complete WinDV software by Fred Van Kempen, PA4YBR. 
He has 
recently created a different interface to his software called ConDV. 
It 
has most of all of the functionality of WinDV but operation is done 
through a keyboard "console" (non GUI) mode. 
It can also run as a daemon (service) as well. Both of these features would be appealing towards 
Raspberry Pi/DVAP/Hotspot owners. 
This can be run on a computer and 
there are Linux (CentOS) and Windows versions available.
More information on this software can be found at:
http://www.dutch-star.eu/software. 

This software requires a free account to download it. 


I
 have done testing on the software and it is very easy to operate and 
runs extremely well on a Raspberry Pi and DVAP. 
A good majority of the 
basic functionality of G4KLX's software can be utilized with this 
software. It will also work with GMSK hotspots as well. 
However, the 
instructions are not very intuitive with regard to installation. Once 
completed, there are PDFs included that go over operation and 
configuration in detail that is HIGHLY suggested to read. 
Particularly, 
because I found the program's configuration had to be manually created 
in order for ConDV to use my DVAP.

If you would like more 
functionality of DVAPTool and more of a "middle-ground" amongst all DVAP
 software packages and can put up with the roughness on installation and
 configuration, ConDV is highly recommended.
