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