D-Star Site for South Carolina

[Caesar]

Hey, since blanton doesn't want to start listing ham repeater frequncies on this site , hopefully me posting this link is ok, for anyone want to visit SC and use D-Star or use SC D-star repeaters through the gateway a new site is up at www.scdstar.cfom which will stay on top of all the D-Star happenings in the state.

Thanks

I had heard through the grapevine that the SCHearts group was going to do some DStar installs around the state. With the state budget in such a mess, it might get deferred for now.

Since D-Star is not considered Commercial or Professional radio, and we have amateur forums, I'm moving this to General Amateur discussion.

D-Star chip

Since we have a D-Star forum, I'd like to ask the question:
Can I find the UT-118 board cheaper than $200 somewhere?
Is there a third part making these for a better price?
I got a D-Star ready radio, don't know about spending that much on a chip for it.

SCHeart already has one up in charleston on MUSC and should have one up near greenville and one in the low country closer to savannah soon (summertime probably)...

I missed the check in on the last several Sundays, so I am in the dark. They have two UHF analog repeaters in the Greenville area already. One is on Paris Mountain and one on Caesars Head Mountain. I am with Wyandotte about the DStar boards being too expensive. I have a pair of U82 HT's and a V82 Ht that could use some, but not at the going rate.

i have the 91ad and the id800, they can get expensive but we are having much fun with them, our club Welcome to the Malfunction Junction Amateur Radio Club has 4 D* repeaters up so far and working on a 5th one to online in the next couple weeks. Along with SCHEARTS help we should have 15-20 online statewide by the end of the year hopefully!
