D-Star DV-Dongle Ham Radio Install Instructions.

Are you a licensed Amateur Radio Operator and are you away from your DSTAR radio? Then watch this simple demo of the DVDONGLE. This device allows you to communicate on DSTAR gateways around the world with the use of a computer and broadband connection.

Step one: installed the latest java script version, that is needed for the DV Tool

Next , go to the DV Dongle website and download the free DV TOOL:

http://www.dvdongle.com/downloads/DVTool-dist.tgz

Unpackage the file to a folder on your desktop.

You cannot run DVTool.jar directly and have your DV Dongle work.

First, plug in the DV Dongle and then open DVTool.sh.

Once it starts, you should see something along the lines of dev/tty/usb0 or something similar in the drop down box. If not, you may have a problem with your USB ports.

Click on open next to that drop down box to access the DV Dongle.

The second section should un-grey and you should be able to click on the "Connect to Gateway" button and have a selection of different Dstar Nodes pop up in the drop down box.

Thats it, you're up and running!

If you are already registered on the international D-Star gateway network, you are ready to go.

If not, please contact your local D-Star repeater manager for registration.

If you don't know where your closest D-Star repeater system is located, use a web browser and go to http://www.dstarusers.org/repeaters.php for repeater locations.
