Motivation

Motivation

Why another Reflector System ?
• Creation of an open source alternative to the existing monopoly
system (the sysop can decide freely)
• Bypassing obscure compulsory registrations such as E.g. US trust.
Br (Any sysop is responsible in a decentralized network)
• Merge all users rather than to scatter them in different camps. Multi
Protocol (DPlus, DCS, DExtra and multi standard such as D-star,
DMR and C4FM)
• Ease of use for users

• Suggestion of experimentation in terms of ham spirit 

• Promotion of international cooperation (DVC, Yahoo Group, etc.) 

• Networking the reflectors by the inter link protocol. 

• Distancing himself from financial motivation through GPL license and Linux. 

• No prioritization of hardware or manufacturers.

The Aim of the Project

The Aim of the Project

• The use of a common and modern programming language that can
be used on any platform.
• No OS or library dependency. (Full C++ (11) and PHP)
• Performance and resource-saving through object-oriented
programming.
• Scalable native multithreading
• No unnecessary features like GPS or messages.
Ease of use for the sysop through the dashboard and the voluntary
calling-home function.

Linking to Reflectors or Repeaters

Linking to Reflectors or Repeaters
Most of the fun from using D-Star comes from talking over links to users connected to reflectors.  Reflectors are really conference servers.  A transmission on any one of the connected systems is repeated on all of them.  This means there are more people out there to talk to than just the people within RF distance of your closest repeater.

D-Star Linking and Reflectors were invented by Robin Cutshaw AA4RC.  His system is called D-PLUS.  This has really become the "killer app" that has caused significant D-Star growth throughout the world.  D-Plus reflectors are named REFnnnx, as in REF001C.

Two other linking systems have since been written -- DExtra creates XRF reflectors and DCS creates DCS reflectors.  They all operate in similar ways.  W6CX, unlike most other ICOM D-Star repeater/gateways, supports all of these linking systems.

Linking is easy.  The Administrators for most D-STAR repeaters allow registered users to issue link and unlink commands over RF – just put the link or unlink command into the URCall of your radio and hit PTT. For example, if you want your repeater to link to REF014C, just put “REF014CL” in URCall.  The first 6 positions are for the name of the reflector or the callsign of the repeater to be linked to.  The 7th position is the band module (normally A, B, C, D or E) and the 8th position is the D-Plus command.  L is the link command, U is the unlink command.  A common way to do that is to program your radio with several memories.
