I may have stumbled on to something which will be of interest to many of
us. My apologies if this is old news - I haven't been keeping up with the
sig lately. (Couldn't find a reference to this in my archives.)
Icom is apparently introducing a new 1.2 Ghz amateur radio system which
supports data transfer at 128 K bps through a 10BaseT connection.
The radio system is called "D-star", with the following components: Mobile
Transceiver: ID-1 Control Head:RC-24, 10-Ghz Backbone: ID-RPT1L, and
Digital Repeater System: ID-RP1. The transceiver has 2 unusual ports: a
USB port to connect to a laptop for complete software control of the radio
(that's why the control head is optional) and an Ethernet Network Interface
port (10BaseT) for the 128K data. It says data may be transmitted over
existing 1.2 Ghz repeaters or via simplex with another ID-1. Pretty cool.
This was in a full-page ad in a copy of the AES catalog which arrived
Tuesday So far, there's no mention of this on the Icom web site. I'm
guessing Icom planned to introduce this at Dayton, and sent AES an advance
copy of the ad. AES messed up and mailed the catalog before Dayton.

ICOM gave a sneak preview of the D-Star system at the TAPR/ARRL Digital
Communications Conference in Denver last fall. We (TAPR) got a pair of the
1.2GHZ radios (but not the 10GHz ones) shortly after that and have been
evaluating them. Steve, N7HPR, will be giving a hands-on perspective about
the system at the TAPR Digital Forum on Friday morning at Hamvention.

I used to do this too, to test my KISS drivers, but got wiser and wrote
a lil' command line tool that would generate KISS frames for me and send
them to a serial port. It's called "kissgen" and it takes a flat text
file with frames as input and sends them as KISS frames to the serial
port at a specified interval. I usually use something like Afilter to
generate a file of frames from the internet stream. No editing needed.

Actually, Icom had this on display and brochures about it at Dayton last
year (2002).
Also, the RC-24 control head is included with the ID-1 transceiver.
I'm looking forward to playing around with this system, but I'm sure it will
take a few years to saturate the amateur community.

BTW, anyone know what the dial frequency and sideband is for 30 meter APRS
with AGWPE?
Thanks,
Joe 73 de N3HGB
Joe,
AGWPE works at 10.15151 LSB *most* of the time for me. The most published
center frequency is 10.1493, so you can figure out what frequency to set
your tranceiver dial from your the center of your mark/space tones. In
this case, we can do the math backwards since I still haven't found anything
stating the mark/space tones of AGWPE.
Not everyone is on the same 30M frequency from what I've seen.
By the way, I've been playing around with WIN98/AGWPE/CYGWIN/XASTIR on my
PIII-700/1GB RAM and it is not stable for me at all. XASTIR is very stable
on the same machine running Redhat Linux 7.3 with an external TNC, though.

Subject: WinAPRS/MacAPRS now supports TIGER map data

Advance announcement for Dayton 2003
WinAPRS, MacAPRS and X-APRS now support US Census Bureau TIGER MAP
DATA for the best yet in APRS maps. All of the US plus Puerto Rico,
American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, U.S. Virgin Islands
are included in this coverage.
The map data is free of charge and IS UPDATED EVERY YEAR!!!!!!!!
The US Census Bureau has mapping data for the entire USA that is the
best in the world, most of the major mapping companies start out with
the data from them. This data is called TIGER Topologically
Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing system This data is
very good and is updated every year. However it takes lots of memory
to deal with it. Previously with WinAPRS, there has not been enough
memory or CPU power to deal with this data directly, previous
versions of maps for use with WinAPRS have been derived from this
data but a lot of the information was lost when converted. Now
WinAPRS/MacAPRS/X-APRS uses the data directly and you can see that
the maps are the best yet for APRS.
Please refer to http://www.winaprs.com/WAPRSdoc.htm#TigerMaps for full details.
This new version will be released shortly, before Dayton.
