There are newer options, you might want to look at CHIRP at http://chirp.danplanet.com as an alternative. -- John Hi Anna,

The RS-91 software doesn’t have import/export capability which is why this posting describes using an external program to read/write .icf files that you open in the RS91 program.

There are newer options, you might want to look at CHIRP at http://chirp.danplanet.com as an alternative.

Hi Winston — there are a lot of options:

1) You can buy Icom
2) You can take an existing repeater and convert it, look at this article
3) There are 3 primary software solutions to base your repeater/gateway on:

  • G4ULF gateway/repeater
  • WinDV from DUTCH*Star
      • There are plenty of folks to help you out, but do your research on the above listed sites.

You should also narrow-band the receivers if you can http://wirelessrepairsandbatteries.com/zkit-820nb-p605373.html -- During build up, you should get usable results just by wiring up as my <a href="http://k7ve.org/blog/?p=102" title="Converting the Kenwood TKR-820" rel="nofollow">article</a> suggests. These "tweaks" are for better performance and spectral efficiency. See your personal email for some additional documentation.

As a test I used one of my club calls that is registered on IrcDDB, KJ6MFU. I programmed that into my DVAP and have the Gateway set as my G4ULF system, KJ6KII. Using WinDV vers 1.1.3. I need not connect WinDV to the gateway, just have it in the Gateway field of WinDV and Ted and I are able to communicate using STN002. I was surprised to see this configuration work. So it is able to work via a DVAP. Though you would be interested. John,
