About Reectors
D What is a reflector?
A reector is a special server connected to the Internet
and running a version of the D-Plus software� If the
D-Plus software is installed on your access repeater,
it provides various functions including gateway
and reector linking capabilities (It is known as the
D-STAR reector system). The D-STAR reector
system enables a number of D-STAR repeaters
anywhere to link to a reector. This means that when
you transmit through a D-STAR repeater linked to a
reector, your voice can be heard on other repeaters
linked to the reector, and you can hear other stations
that are connected to the reector.

D Unlinking a reflector
Before trying to link to another reector, BE SURE to
unlink the reector that is currently connected to the
repeater�
NOTE: If a reector is already connected, ask on
the air whether or not you can change reectors
and wait for responses� BE SURE to reconnect
back to the same reector when you nish your
conversation�
