This GMSK Node Adapter can be used to create a D-Star Compatible Hotspot or even a low-cost full duplex D-Star compatible repeater. It's fun and easy. Let's say you have a D-Star radio, but you don't have perfect access to your closest D-Star repeater. A Hotspot at your QTH allows your D-Star radio to access connected repeaters and/or reflectors worldwide using any analog radio that has a high speed data/packet port, this GMSK Node Adapter, a PC and an internet connection. See Building a D-Star Compatible Hotspot for more information. When your board arrives, also check Recommended Jumpers and Firmware Settings.

This board uses a 3' standard "GMSK cable," with a 9-pin DSub connector to the board, and a 6 pin Mini DIN connector for most ham transceivers with a 9600 Data jack. We have these in stock at a good price, or you can build your own - click here. We also offer a USB Type A to Type B cable, to connect your Star*Board to your PC.

Note: Larry WW6USA, a long time D-Star guy, found that the Star*Board fits in an Altoids tin. As many of you know, this little box is often used by QRP homebrewers as an enclosure for their projects.
