<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>
