<H1>New D-Star Software Radio Group </H1>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>A new Yahoo email group dedicated to software for 
receiving and transmitting <EM><STRONG>D-Star</STRONG></EM> Digital Voice has 
been formed.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>In the group's Files section is software to decode D-Star 
written by Jakub Hruska. It can decode D-STAR callsigns and text messages, what 
it can't do is decode the audio, a seperate dongle is needed for 
that.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>A description of it says:</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>This version can stream live decoded data to dvtool for 
realtime playback using DV Dongle. It also decodes callsigns and user text or 
messages (like GPS position reports).</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>You don't need any special hardware, just connect your 
soundcard to 9600PKT/discriminator output from your receiver. There are some 
issues with some receivers, in that case, small modification may be needed. If 
you already modified receiver for decoding trunk control channel or for pager 
decoding, it should work without problems.</FONT></P>
