I have a proposed idea for starting a #VK wide #DV net on the VK Nets Hub (50500) that I run, wondering if anyone be interested in a DV net on Sunday evening around 19:30ACST (10:00UTC), it be a mixed chat & technical net.
International station will also be more than welcome too
Ideas, comments etc welcome

Here is the link for links to the dashboards of the multimode hubs that I maintain & operate
https://dvref.dale.id.au/I have added more to the page and if your VK club be interested in running your DV net(s) on VK Nets (50500) hub feel to pass on this info to them and let me know.
You can also see list of current nets run on the hub too.
Feel free to boost 😺

Hi y'all
As we've woken up super early and have spoons to spare, Come and join us as we run the @PrideRadioGroup Net at 0200 UTC !!We'll be operating as net controller under VK3PRG
All are welcome !

I think it's worth me doing a new #Introduction:
Hi! I'm Chris! I write code, I make things, and I parent.
My posts are generally about a few key areas: #Programming, #HamRadio, #TTRPG and #Parenting.
As far as programming, I mostly focus on #DotNet #CSharp professionally, with a smattering of #WebDev using #TypeScript. For my "not professional" development, I do a lot of #GameDev in #Godot (usually using C#, though not always!), and I adore #FunctionalProgramming, particularly in #FSharp, but also in many other languages! I stream software and game development on Twitch at https://twitch.tv/b4ux1t3. The schedule on there is not currently correct (January 2025), but should be soon.
When it comes to ham radio, I mostly focus on #DigitalModes, though I do a little bit of #POTA and #SOTA (well, I want to, anyway!). I'm a big user of #APRS and #PacketRadio. I try to be active on #YSF via the inimitable [email protected]'s (edit: removed the mention here to prevent accidental mentions!) pride radio network, though mostly I listen. If you'd like my callsign, feel free to DM me. I do not list it publicly, but I'm not shy about handing it out in a more private setting.
Regarding TTRPG, I'm mostly a forever GM who runs #ShadowdarkRPG, #BladesInTheDark, #MorkBorg and #Mausritter, though I love most #OSR games and often mix and match rules and stuff. I don't _hate_ #DnD, #dnd5e or otherwise, it's just not the sort of thing I enjoy running. I also GM professionally on https://startplaying.games/gm/b4ux1t3!
Outside of that, some of my posts are about #Crochet, #BookBinding, #Woodworking, #Mathematics, #Linguistics, #TokiPona and, well, lots of other things
I have lots of links in my profile if you'd like to know more about me!

It's sad that #YSF worldlink is dead. . .the equivalent on DMR was hopping the last time I did that, but I no longer have a DMR radio.

And then there... is D-STAR.
Where you get to tell it the source, destination, and even input/output of your repeater! No screw you, we like it like this!
No double screw you, because you have to fuck around with the callsigns you're sending to actually perform operations.
NO REALLY I CANNOT MAKE THIS SHIT UP
WHAT THE FUCK IS D-STAR DOING?!I stand by my comments in the screenshot. The rules for how D-STAR needs you to input your routing information literally sound ripped straight from the manual of a Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes mod.

Anyways. YSF is "Yaesu is special" by straight-up hijacking your repeater. Unlike the rest, YSF itself is just the modulation and protocol. You need to use an overlay (WIRES-X) to actually link things around. This is basically zero-configuration: you ask your radio for a list of rooms, you give it a room, it links the repeater site to that room, you're now bob's nephew.
This is just EchoLink. This is digital echolink.
YSF is also special because you don't give it a destination. You just give it your callsign as a source. I have yet to see a YSF radio that even asks for a destination callsign, maybe I'm reading the manuals wrong.

CW: Rant, tangent
"reflector" is the word that D-STAR and M17 use to basically mean "master server." YSF (WIRES-X) has "rooms" which are individual groups you can link into (also called "reflectors" sometimes). The difference is that, linking into a reflector, you receive everything it gets there since it reflects it to all connected nodes. Master servers are like digital voice routers, deciding what nodes get what.

Anyways. A quick breakdown for the uninitiated:
All the commercial protocols, Project 25, DMR, and NXDN, just use talkgroups. for DMR it's 24 bits minus 2 (all-1 is "ALL CALL" and all-0 is invalid I think), for P25, I think it is too but I'm not sure, and for NXDN, it's 16 (65k). If you address your call to "group 18835" instead of "unit 3183914" then, one, everyone tuned to that starts decoding, and two, your local repeater site can hand that off (with your traffic) to a "master server" that will look in it's list of connected sites that also share that talkgroup ID, and will send them a copy of the data stream to re-broadcast.
M17 half-asses this, by like, base-40 encoding your callsign into just a number, with a few reserved numbers for echo test or repeater weirdness. It seems that
M17-xyzis the "callsign" you use for a "reflector" (basically a group)#HamRadio #AmateurRadio #AmateurRadioDigitalCommunications #DigitalRadio #DSTAR #DMR #YSF #M17 #NXDN

CW: Rant, abundant profanity
Tangent: People, it's not C4FM, it's YSF. C4FM is the layer-1 modulation. That's like calling ARDOP (or VARA) "PSK," or calling Ethernet "TCM 4D-PAM-5," or calling Wi-Fi "OFDMA 256-QAM." P25p1 also uses C4FM for most repeaters (and uplinks from the mobiles), is that YSF now? No. It's. Not. C4FM.
Thank you for coming to my TEDx talk.

Fuck D-STAR. Fuck digital radio.
Jesus fucking christ I've spent the last.... 3 hours in this. Who the fuck let digital radio become a thing and did not eradicate humanity for their sins against the gods of this universe?
I've noticed that there's like "the cool kids" way of routing, "Yaesu is special," and then fucking D-STAR.
- DMR, NXDN, Project 25, M17n't: Yeah lol we just use numbers (talkgroups)
- YSF (aka, eugh, C4FM): Yeah so like, we just take over the entire goddamn repeater for you, it's just EchoLink but digital instead lol, have fun. Don't program shit, we got you
- M17: Did you know you can make a callsign a number? What if we made some numbers that stood for internet servers that bounced signals around, not callsigns!
- D-STAR Fucking program the routing information yourself, **coward.**

@rhett #aprs for short messages and information retrieval (not so much into positioning). #packetradio or #ARDOP for #winlink emails (no windows, no #vara). #js8call for some asynchronous message and data exchange (not much experience yet). #M17project looks interesting. It is #foss enabling us to execute our #hamradio right to experiment (not like all that closed proprietary stuff: #DMRradio, #c4fm / #ysf and #dstar).

Literally the whole reason I'm making this project is so I can sit on my ass at my desk and talk to people on #YSF via my #PiStar.
In the long run, I may turn it into the application I wanted a few months ago (that is, shooting the audio out over the network to my shack), but for now, this is pretty handy. I need to find some YSF rooms that are active this evening and give it a try.

Seeing some weird behavior with #PiStar #YSF. The audio coming in is garbled, and there appears to be some transmission issues, too. My audio got out for a little while, but ended up breaking down during a net on Saturday.
Per the video, the DATA is making it all the way to my radio (I can see callsigns), but the audio is seriously garbled.
Anyone ever experience this? I'm currently in the process of re-flashing pi-star image.

(...continued)
Hams can access the net using many methods, including #IRLP, #dmr (TGIF), #HamshackHotline, #YSF, #Allstar & #Echolink.
Here’s the official announcement with the info:
Merry Christmas everyone !
It’s Christmas Eve again and for the 12th year in a row our gang at the DODROPIN radio Netwerk will be hosting our annual Santa watch net. The program will get underway at 6 PM Eastern and will last for approximately 3 to 4 hours.
(continued…)
