D-STAR
D-STAR new promotion movie
 
Single-sideband, repeaters, packet radio, and microprocessor technology all took radio to new levels. Now D-STAR’s protocols are opening up new possibilities for casual users, system builders, group leaders, and good, old ham radio experimentation. Just as high speed digital networks led to brand-new ways to communicate, D-STAR brings digital systems to the amateur bands to create entirely new radio systems and services. Turn the page and discover a whole new perspective on amateur radio....
 
Icom (Australia) Pty Ltd has given to the WIA a D-STAR repeater to be located at Olinda in the Dandenong ranges, to serve the greater Melbourne area. There are plans for 5 more repeaters to be installed around Australia.

D-STAR is a digital protocol developed by the Japan Amateur Radio League (the JARL) and stands for Digital Smart Technologies for Amateur Radio.

The repeater will be licensed as VK3RWN and will operate on the 2m, 70cm and 23cm bands and will take full advantage of the facilities offered by D-STAR including taking the opportunity to interlink with the extensive D-STAR network, using the Internet as the carrier. Plans for Mt. Macedon in Victoria and Perth are underway.
