I am trying to program a local D-Star repeater in to my ID-5100 mobile radio and I can not figure out what I am missing in the programming file for me to be able to use the D-Star repeater. Here's how I did it.



145.340- WX4EMA C WX4EMA G 12.5 CQCQCQ



Is D-Star digital 12.5?

I was about to say that if you're local, I'll help.. but then I noticed it was a 5100, not a 51. :-/





Programming these beasts without software is not something I'm willing to entertain. Wait... doesn't the 5100 ship with some sort of basic programming software? Even if it does, I'll encourage you to look at the RT systems offering for it. Downloading a full local list from inside the program then shooting it to my 51 was incredibly convenient.








Are you already registered on the D-Star system?

There's at least one member here who admins a D-Star node that can get your registration expedited, but only if you initiate it from their system. I'm sure he'll stop by sooner or later.

How are you determining that you're not getting to the repeater?  Have you tried an echo test?  

Your programming looks fine.  I can connect to that repeater with the Dongle and can do some testing if you like.

Isn't that in the pre-loaded repeater list in the 5100?

Also +1 on dropping a SD card in a computer and using the Icom software to program the radio (or RT systems if you have it).

Did you sign up for a Dstar account somewhere (preferably with your local repeater)?  You will need this to access the gateway, unless you only want local.....

Got it programmed right finally the guy who was helping me gave me the wrong information. Spoke to a few people this morning with no issues.

Thanks! I just hope they switch over from reflector B to reflector C so it'll be more activity instead of dead silence.
