WW6BAY D-Star Repeater - 444.075  +5 Mhz  

The Bay-Net D-Star repeater is located at the south bay site and provides excellent mobile coverage from San Francisco, Oakland and Berkeley in the north to San Jose and Morgan Hill in the south bay.  

 

This new generation D-Star compatible repeater does not use any Icom equipment.  It is built using commonly available Motorola Maxtrac radios, a Satoshi GMSK modem and a 1U ATOM based computer running David Lake’s NI-Star software under the centos linux OS.

 

Using The Repeater

 

To configure your D-Star radio set the following call sign settings.

 

UR     =  Destination call sign, typically CQCQCQ

RPT1  =  WW6BAY B

The repeater is normally connected to D-Star reflector 14 C. This reflector is widely used as the northern California hub for D-Star repeaters and hot spots.

 

You can link the Bay-Net repeater to any repeater or reflector on the D-Star network.  When you are done, please return the system to reflector 14 C.
