K6KD: Check out the podcast link above.
K6KD: If you are on a computer without this board already bookmarked, an alternate easy way to access is roundtable.tech
G4KLX: My software does FEC reconstruction in all audio paths, Icom hardware even when used with my software cannot do FEC reconstruction on local RF repeats. The FEC on D-Star audio is slightly stronger than that on DMR audio, but DMR audio has a rule to....
G4KLX: silence itself when the BER gets too high. The D-Star codec has not, so you get R2D2, DMR does also but is blanked. I have not implemented the new Icom data mode because I have no information about it, so Ken is wrong about that, I'm not not interested....
G4KLX: in it. Get me the data on how Icom distinguishes between audio and data and I'll implement it.
vk4tux: NB to Cecil WD6FZA, Cecil emailed many times but your ISP rejected ;

G4KLX: Executive summaries from Ham Radio: (1) DCS is closing, and is being passed over to XLX. I met the XLX guys at Ham Radio and we're talking about a new protocol to replace DCS with all the advantages but less bandwidth.
G4KLX: (2) Saw the Kenwood radio, it was receiving APRS happily. It was smaller than the photos implied. (3) A form of peace has now broken out between DMR+ and BM! Links are being (re)established, except in the UK as we're idiots here (DMR, BRExit, Chilcot).
Guest: If using a dv mega and mobile wifi device. How big a data package is sufficient to run dstar on rpi? Let's say 12 hrs a day as example
N9KO -Calvin: Does anyone have a working link to let me download version 1.5.7 and 1.5.8 beta 3 of WinDV / Dv Node for Windows program? I need the link, not the actual files, for something I wanted to discuss in tonight's Roundtable.
N6HKH: I just sent you Dropbox links to the WinDV versions requested. Dutch* Star site is down, there is no known alternative or interim site, and Fred/PA4YBR reported to WB5EKU on July 3 he expects his site "will be back up shortly," whatever that means.
N6HKH: Host Files download locations: d-star-roundtable.boards.net/thread/26/links-star-dashboards-host-files
KK6MYS: You can download Windv 1.5.8 b3 from here nwdigitalradio.com/windv-1.5.8p3-setup.exe
W6KD: @guest--connected to a reasonably busy reflector, probably around 500MB a month. K7WOF is an over the road trucker that had a hotspot up nearly continuoulsy, and he reported ~800MB a month usage.
N9KO - Calvin: I will wait until Fred gets his website up again for the WinDV files. Thanks to all who responded.
N6MUD: Love the new roundtable.tech DNS entry!
AA7US: N6HKH Really enjoyed the 60 seconds of D-Star basics!
VK5ZEA: Where can I find the post about DMR vs D-Star R2D2? I joined the roundtable a bit late.
N6HKH: Scroll to the top here.
VK5ZEA: Thanks Mike
N9KO - Calvin: Hot news item ... AES will be closing this month. Google " amateur electronic supply closure " for multiple articles on this topic. Too bad for the great guys who work there.
K6KD: @vk5zea - Some shouts already rolled off the window, so I started a thread in Shoutbox History early so you can see those
W6KD: n9ko...sad to hear about AES. Not a very good sign for the hobby.
K6EEP: Raspberry Pi uses commercial ICs. Normal ratings these ICs must meet are 0-70C. Some ICs may have wider ranges. Oh, they make fan cases for the Pi.
W6KD: Ramesh's (VA3UV) consolidated host file is located at www.va3uv.com/gwys.txt

Guest: @ K6KD I don't see it. Great if you could copy and paste
Guest: @ k6kd I found it. Thanks for answering
