I have been doing DV for some time now and have experimented with several technologies: AllstarLink on RPi3 for my UHF repeater, DV4Mini, DVMega on RPi3 running Pi-Star, DVMega on a iBluestack with BlueDV running on my iPhone X, and SharkRF openSPOT.

My digital radio gear consists of a couple of Baofeng UV-82s, 2 MD-380s, an ID-31a and my smartphones running network apps such as Zello and TeamSpeak3.

As the Marketing Director of TheGuild (World Wide Amateur Radio Guild), I invite you to join our DigiCommCafe Mighty Networks Community, the DigiCommCafe group on Facebook and the Breakfast Club that meets on Saturday mornings at 1300 UTC on our Zello Channel which is linked to the DigiCommCafe on the IRN (International Radio Network) on TeamSpeak 3. I'm also a user of the HamShack Hotline - a new HAMS-ONLY VoIP Digital Phone service. The latest craze is Network Radios for ham an non-ham digital global communication. Here at the DigiCommCafe we embrace it all. Feast at the digital banquet table and bring a dish or two of your own to share.

5/3/1028 Update: I now have started a second net on the IRN called the Ham Nuggets Net. It is held every Thursday at 2100 UTC or 5:00 pm EDT in our new DigiCommCafe RF IRN channel which is crosslinked to the new DigiCommCafe DMR Talkgroup 31626. That in turn is also crosslinked to our new DigiCommCafe YSF Fusion Reflector 31639. Hope to see you there!

5/11/2018 Update: Things are changing fast in the world of digital ham radio. I am excited to announce that over the weekend the DigiCommCafe crosslinking with change again. This time our Allstarlink node will be connected to our DMR talkgroup with the assistance of Steve, K4SQI, who is a real technologist. Steve has installed the transcoding software on my Raspberry Pi Allstar device which in turn will be connected to the DigiCommCafe Allstar and Echolink nodes. When turned on we will then have Allstar, Echolink, DMR, DStar and Fusion connected together along with access via your smartphone or network radio in the DigiCommCafe RF channel on the IRN! More to come.

73,
