Hi Bill, NZ5N

I suspect that it was a surplus Filter Band Pass F-204/U built for the U.S.
Army by Budd Lewyt Electronics. It is a double cavity filter about 10" long.

The cavities are two in series and the diameter of each gold plated cavity
is 2" while the front panel is blue color 6" wide and 2.5" high with two
tuning black knobs with calibrated dials in channel numbars.

In the bach panel there are two N connectors for input and output.

Originally a set of six or eight cavities was placed into a rack to cover
from about 100 MHz to about 450 MHz.

I have two of them with the original frequency range 374 to 404 MHz and it
was necessary for me to short it by a few millimeters on a milling machine
to get them resonate to 436 MHz for the uplink on OSCAR-10 and OSCAR-13

By the way I was never able to find in the surplus market the model that
resonates to 145 MHz because they were very popular and were used for FM
repeaters but they are cheap and all of them have the same 10" lenght so
that it is easy to mount it at the antenna next to the mast-mounted
preamplifier.

If I am correct please let me know.

My CO6CBF QSL card and SASE arrived at my PO box today.   The
envelope appeared to have made the round-trip intact, going first to
Cuba and then for the return trip through Miami and Cleveland.  Many

The real thing that would explode D-star onto the world stage would be if
they implemented an A-STAR gateway into the D-STAR system.  That is a means
to gateway to existing analog users with existing radios.  Then everyone
everywhere could participate in callsign-to-callsign voice contact just like
D-star.

The A-Star gateway does this.  It uses the built-in (APRS) digital signaling
in any of the 8 current models of Kenwood and Yaesu APRS radios to provide
the seamless interface.  The APRS radios can be configured to send out their
CALLSIGN with each release of PTT, thus giving the automatic callsign
identification (Like Dstar).  Further, APRS radio users can signal who they
want to talk to by simply entering an APRS message to the intended callsign
target.

This way, the A-STAR gateway provides the same end-user-to-end-user-by
callsign VOICE calling as Dstar.  On the D-star side of the gatway, all the
A-STAR gateways look like just another D-star repeater.  But on the Analog
side of the A-STAR gateway, it looks like a normal Analog repeater.
BUT, the analog repeater is listening for the PTT burst with the callsign
ID's.  And the A-star gateway interprets incoming callsign message requests
as requests for a voice link and sets it up as if it was a D-star system.

See how.  www.aprs.org/avrs.html

This is all part of the Automatic Voice Relay Network concept that ties
together all linked voice systems into a universal-by-callsign VOIP system.
It is where APRS has been headed since 2001.  And it is why all the recent
radios from Kenwood and Yaesu can include their operating frequency in their
ID packet and why they can also QSY to a commanded frequency on an incoming
message with the press of a single button.

We just need someone to write the A-star gateway software into the D-star
network.

Bob, WB4APR

Bob, you're going to get a LOT of resistance to this from the D-STAR
community.  The idea has merit, and APRS could provide a data channel
for passing routing information.  Unfortunately, there's a lot of
"purists" out there in the D-STAR world.  You might get more traction
for the idea by going to the ircDDB community, where there's a higher
proportion of experimenters.  Your A-STAR gateway would likely need
to be registered with ircDDB (USTRUST/K5TIT certainly wouldn't
register it), so it would look like a D-STAR gateway to the
network.  The more I think about it, the more I think there's
something in this.

Can the message be sent on every key down?  i.e. store the message
and then program the radio to repeat the same message every time you
hit PTT?  This is what would be needed to use D-STAR's callsign
routing.  I noticed there's quite a few APRS capable radios out there
now.  I was almost tempted to buy one, but that came after knowing I
have to watch the budget for the time being.  It's on the wish list.

Unfortunately, in Australia, we will have to keep D-STAR (and any
A-STAR gateways would be considered as part of D-STAR for this
purpose) separate to IRLP and Echolink, because bridging the two
would lead to a very high risk of licence breaches, due to how our
regulations work, combined with the bands that the IRLP and Echolink
systems are on (A-STAR gateways would be advertised as such and CTCSS
access to avoid accidental access by Foundation calls and the legal
implications thereof).


>We just need someone to write the A-star gateway software into the D-star
>network.

I suggest you ask around the ircDDB community, as that's where the
software development and home brew gateway efforts are centred,
because there's much more room for experimentation there than on
K5TIT.  The idea is interesting and certainly has merit.

Need to ask something, may be silly to some:

- The ARRL can give an account of LoTW  for Hector ...?
or hector can create ..? is it possible ..?

That would be the best solution for him, and also find a QSL manager.

Thanks if anyone can answer the first question.

if you think I can help in mexico to be a bridge to Hector via airmail
I'm ready to help, many years ago sent a box to Cuba for the Cuban
Federation of Amateur radio equipment too old, no problem, not if
Now everything has changed from Mexico to Cuba.
