ARVN:Amateur Radio//Video News has several D-STAR related videos available. Some are free on YouTube. Some are inexpensive DVDs (with free YouTube previews). Check out
www.ARVideoNews.com for details.
The highlights:- "Digital Voice for Amateur Radio" is a documentary DVD that shows both HF and VHF/UHF digital voice modes. It's good for playing at a club meeting to introduce hams to the concept of digital voice.
- The "D-STAR Meetings at the 2008 Dayton Hamvention" DVD has four hours of pure immersion in D-STAR from the Friday afternoon seminar (lots of information) and the Friday night meeting (lots of fun). (A DVD of the 2009 Hamvention meetings is on the way)
- The "D-STAR User Seminar" DVD is a 90 minute how-to from the guys who put up the Charlotte KI4WXS repeater.
- "Programming D-STAR Radios" is a free YouTube how-to on programming those pesky four call signs. I demo the IC-2820, IC-92AD, and ID-800 radios.
- You can also download PDF's of my QST articles, including "Operating D-STAR" and the IC-92AD product review.
There are a lot of other, non-D-STAR programs to check out, too.
