"Work the World with D-Star" is a practical guide that explains the steps that you need to follow to make your new D-Star transceiver work through your local repeater or hotspot. There are new terms to discover, including dashboards, reflectors, gateways, hotspots, and Echo and acronyms like AMBE+2, DR, DV, CS, and MMDVM. This book covers how to link to a reflector and what to say when you are making your first calls.
If you are using a hotspot, you can link to a reflector using the hotspot's Pi-Star dashboard or by using the functions on the transceiver, or use PC software or a phone app. There is guidance on MMDVM (multi-mode digital voice modem) 'hotspots' and step-by-step instructions for configuring the Pi-Star modem. Information on the D-Star data structure and the advantages and disadvantages of digital voice technology over FM and other digital voice modes such as System Fusion, DMR, and P25 is also discussed. "Work the World with D-Star" even includes programming instructions for some popular Icom D-Star radios such as the ID-52A, ID-51A +2, IC-705, and IC-9700. Included in this handy reference, are Andrew's guiding thoughts on "which is best", and "what should I buy?".
Operating a D-Star transceiver may be a little more difficult than operating an FM transceiver but "Work the World with D-Star" guides you through this, so, that with a D-Star transceiver and a repeater or a hotspot, you will soon be able to 'work' amateur radio stations all over the world.
