 picture you see is my first prototype, upgraded

 [http://dstarradioclub-international.com/images/100_1936.JPG]

Here first pictures of the ADD ON display.(fist only on the prototype) Also, I think about installing in this big Lid a Multiband Data 9.6 k Transceiver,Then the DV Adapter is a Radio by his own!Plus all other Base Station or HF capability.
And a Battery power source can go also in the Lid. Both to get on low $ in China, $100 +_ for VHF/UHF 23cm. You all are welcome to help design it or add stuff!
There will be some new stuff coming out from me soon. But always in a way that all owners can easily upgrade!
No changes to the main unit! Just Add on as Extras !
First tests with prototype runs very good today 16. Oct.2010

          Now we have a HF D-Star Hotspot
                        still working out settings! only for short test on air
Important news for Yaesu owners! I have tested FT 817 and FT 847, we found out that FT817 JP5 closed for HF,and for VHF/UHF JP5&6 open! Try them out.
I had to set the Hotspot settings to get it working, but now it runs,9/19/10.
(simplex for now) IC706MK2G on off center fed dipole @100 feet. Located in Burlington NC USA,   I think the only one in the World, at this time.
It is on the Gateway !  You can use your DV Adapter ( in your call you can sent Gateway commands) or Jonathans Client to go on HF on air and test it out, and hear yourself on AK4EG C  ,so you come out on the Livestream. But be in the background if you hear someone already on the Livestream. Regular NC traffic first please. I will post the QRG right here and will change it, so different distance can be worked.
We made first contacts on D-rats over the DV Adapter, It is working ! On USB port!

We have made 3 videos on how to build the DV Adapter from the kit, slow and with many comments,in English, from out of the box till the first test.  The link is here:D-Star DV Adapter building from Kit<http://www.ustream.tv/channel/dstar-live-radio%2Cfrom-nc%2Cburlington>
I added the Translation in spain:  DV ADAPTADOR<http://dstarradioclub-international.com/ADAPTADOR.aspx>
