I am new to DStar. But not new to digital audio. I have C4FM, DMR, and DV4mini systems that I have had no trouble setting up and using.
DStar has been a pain. I have yet to have any sort of QSO on it.
I have registered and done all 3 steps that are involved with that.
I have a IC-5100A.
TO: CQCQCQ
FROM: Concord 147.425 W6CX C
(Which is odd since the repeater is on 145.000. But the repeater list on the radio is from 2014 with no updates on Icom's site.)
I get a beep after I transmit. But nobody answers. Are they just ignoring me?
I tried checking into the net, which is audible on the repeater. No one replies to me. (roundtable.tech)
I have read articles about reflectors etc HOWEVER.
I did not set up the repeater! I have no idea how it's 'wired' up.
It keep saying 'Reflector 14c'. At least it does that when the net is not on.
If I am mis-configured so badly then why am I hearing things I cannot talk to?
If DStar allows me to hear things I can't reply to then it is a flawed protocol.
I am pretty much sick of it already.
