D-STAR Repeaters

The W7TA - SNARS DStar Repeaters provides users with D-STAR capable radios. D-STAR (Digital Smart Technologies for Amateur Radio) is a digital voice and data protocol for Amateur Radio. The system was developed in the 1990's by the Japan Amateur Radio League and uses minimum-shift keying in its packet-based standard (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D-STAR). Current manufactures with radios supporting D-STAR are Icom, Kenwood and FlexRadio Systems. The system uses the G3 Icom Gateway Software.
