In playing with the programming, we thought this might help new users
get in on the activity.
· The 1st thing to know about programming for
D*Star is that you need
to have your Callsign, and the repeaters Callsign and a designator for which
band you are operating on. It seems a little strange at 1st, but as you play
with the programming, it will make sense.

"Up-Loaded" to the radio.
In our opinion, this is the easiest way to do it. Following is a general way
to
utilize the system, and get you active.
