Welcome to the Utah D-Star Users Discussion Group

The Utah VHF Society frequency coordinator has made Channel Spacing Recommendations 

Current DStar Repeaters include:

147.380+ WA7GIE C on Nelson Peak.**
448.725- WA7GIE B on Nelson Peak.**
448.075-  KF6RAL B Scheduled install at KSL5 in spring
1287.00- KF6RAL A  Scheduled install at KSL5 in spring
147.390+ KF6RAL C  Scheduled install at KSL5 in spring
448.075-  K2NWS  B Bret Mills (Cedar Mtn) **
449.575- NU7TS  B Wellsville, UT (Old Western Union Site - Good Cache County coverage)

** These Callsigns will need to change, if hooked to a D-STAR gateway.

Try the 70cm repeaters first, this is where most people operate.  If you only have 2 meters, try the following:

UR: CQCQCQ
RPT1: WA7GIE C
RPT2: WA7GIE B

(Announce that you are calling via 2 meters.)

Find them using the Utah Repeater Google Earth mashup.
Alternatively, go to Utah Repeater Google Maps mashup.

Proposed Simplex Frequencies on 23 CM:

1298.0 Digital Data Simplex 1 (192.168.98.0/24 network addresses?)
1298.2 Digital Data Simplex 2 (192.168.2.0/24 network addresses?)
1294.6 Digital Voice Simplex
1294.5 FM Simplex 

Points of Interest:

  • The WA7GIE site is planned to become a full DStar stack (2M DV, 70CM DV, 23CM DV, 23CM DD).  There are Internet bandwidth issues that must be remedied before a gateway can be added to this stack. Antennas are in for 23CM, but installation may be delayed due to the likelihood of weather.

  • K2NWS has his repeaters and data modules and associated isolators and duplexers. Some antennas are in, with others to arrive. - KF6RAL C has been given conditional coordination on 147.39+, in anticipation of going live.  - KF6RAL B is on the air at 448.075- MHz., KF6RAL A is on the air at 1287.000- with DV and will be on 1299.000 with DD in the future.

    The KF6RAL G server computer and router for the gateway have been purchased (Thank You, Utah VHF Society), assembled, and configured. It is at the Federal Bldg and connected to the repeaters, but does not have Internet connectivity at this time.  Joe was able to provide upgrade memory for the server which will have sufficient capacity for current and any anticipated future needs.

 

  • The W7OAD owned repeater modules (2M DV, 70CM DV, 23CM DV, 23CM DD)  have arrived and have been picked up by WA7GIE for integration. It is anticipated that this system will be put into service during the first half of 2008, and we are currently anticipating a Utah County location.

  • View or download K7VE's D-Star PowerPoint Presentation, a D-Star primer.

  • For users of the Icom IC-91AD handheld, download the file Utah DStar Group IC91AD  (by K7VE) which contains the entire state repeater listings as listed in IC-91AD Frequencies file in our files section.

  • A file for IC2200H users can be found at IC2200H DStar 2M (by AD7PE) in the same files directory.

  • Instructions for modifying these files can be found in the article CSV Load for Icom IC-91AD on the K7VE.ORG website.

  • You can generate D-Starcom compatible programming files at http://www.nwham.com/repeaters/index.php?state_id=49 (Select Export -> Icom)
