When I got home tonight, the first piece of my homebrew D-STAR repeater was on the door step. The Kenwood TKR-820 I bought off eBay arrived. I’m basically going to clone most of what John-K7VE has done. I have ordered a set of duplexers and the actual modem board.  I need to track down someone who has the programming software for the repeater next.

My hope/plan is to get all the pieces, so over the Christmas break I can take a couple days and put it together.  I think that is doable.  The biggest unknown is the modem board and getting the repeater re-programmed.  I’m going to bug John more about it this weekend at the D-STAR workshop down in Federal Way.
