Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to write. It's always great to hear that people are finding the notes helpful. – Toshen

I have no words to express how thankful I am with the help you provided with your work. I'm fairly new ham, 1 year and a half but actively, 6 months with a General license. In digital just 2 months, but after reading your notes I feel you sent me to a different level, much more advance UNDERSTANDING the meaning of each setting.
– Mauricio, W3SKY, Florida, Apr 2023

Quite long, but super helpful article for this new operator (old guy) trying to decode the alphabet soup around DMR.… Thanks for putting in the effort to create it.
– Norm, KI5YUU, Texas, Apr 2023

Thanks for website. Got some good DMR info, which I am just getting into, off your site.

– Inga, YL3IM, Latvia, Sep 2022

I just wanted to give you a big THANKS for your website article "Diving into D-Star - TH-D74A." More specifically, the sub-section on Driver Signature Enforcement. Without your help and Windows 10/11 guidance, I was completely unable to use Kenwood's MCP-D74 program. Thank you!
– Michael, KD6TTC, California, Sep 2022

Re: Your note on static/dynamic/autostatic TGs. Just a very quick note to thank you for putting all the pieces together in a logical presentation. I had all the pieces, but you neatly put them all together for me.

THANK YOU for the documentation on setting up a Pi-Star hotspot! I struggled for several days to get my MMDVM Raspberry Pi Zero up and running without success until I saw your pdf doc with step by step instructions. In a couple hours I was on the air! – Tad, K3TD, North Carolina, Feb 2022

Thank you for taking the time to create your www.amateurradionotes.com website. It has been extremely useful in helping me learn about D-STAR, hotspot utilization and the construction of a Lonestar-based RPi hotspot. I sincerely appreciate your time.
– Mark, KB0FSU, Tennessee, Jan 2022

Thank you for providing the Pi-Star resource on your site. It was invaluable in giving me direction on curing an ailing Pi-Star install that refused to play nice despite fiddling with about everything I could think of on Brandmeister, the config page, and doing a number of updates via the GUI.… Your guide was abundantly clear and soon an update from SSH and flashing the firmware on the hat did wonders.
– Anthony, K04GPM, North Carolina, Jan 2022

Bonjour, I have laid out your file in French for personal use which is highly detailed and interesting. Cordial 73's. Bonne Année.
– Jean Paul, F1RXP, France, Dec 2021

I wanted to let you know that you've helped a ham go digital. Thanks for your notes. Your photos of the two hotspots that combine your love of woodworking and digital are delightful.
– Larry, KO4UIG, Virginia, Nov 2021

I just spent a few hours using your site to explain to a new ham how to set up his pi-star … it's honestly the best put together site and walk through on any subject I've ever used.
– Nick, K4VFR, Canada, Oct 2021

Once more, thanks for your continuous efforts to keep up to date your website which I refer to be read by Pi-Star users looking for "deep helping."
– Rafa, EA3BIL, Spain, Oct 2021

This is an excellent article providing an overview of the history, usage, and potential areas as to where DStar is going. Recommend this be provided to new hams who express an interest in learning more about DStar.
– Marshall, KI4MWP, Virginia, Aug 2021

Great article.
– Rich, KA4GFY, Virginia, Aug 2021

This came across my desk this morning. I am sharing the link below because I think it has a brilliant and thoroughly researched presentation of DSTAR on the TH D-74, as well as presentations on other topics. It is also fun to read. Kudos to the author, KE0FHS. I hope members of the Alexandria Radio Club will enjoy it as much as I did.

I have enjoyed reading your article on hotspots for amateur radio.
– Mikel Kline, K0MWK, Florida, Aug 2020

Thank you for creating your website with instructions on how to setup a Pi-Star using a mmdvm hat. Last night I spent several hours trying to figure out my new hotspot using various online written guides, as well as videos. I struggled and the more I clicked around online, the more confused I got. Then I found your website. The detail in which you walk through the configuration, and all of the options (including up to date options), was exactly what I needed. I went through your guide, and had my hotspot online and operating as intended. I have been on DMR all day today, which has brought me joy. So thank you for taking the time to create your website, and these instructions. Please keep up the good work!

– Matt, KI5JHK, Louisiana, Jun 2020

Mate, I couldn't be any more impressed with the 'round up of Hotspots' section of your website if I tried! Been thinking of taking the plunge for a while now—and without question, you seem to have pulled off the impossible—a complete one-stop-location online, which totally rounds up a summary of all hats, hardware and firmware in one spot. Top marks—and nothing but the highest order of respect—concerning your obvious unwavering commitment when laying out the breadth of your endeavours, with regards to this specific element of Amateur Radio.
– Justin-Ley and Stephanie, VK3JUZ and VK3WET, Australia, May 2020

Thanks so much for a great website. It's really remarkable!!
– Charles, W4BPP, Florida, May 2020

I just wanted to say how helpful your site has been. Somewhat recently, I picked up a modem board for my Raspberry Pi and built a hotspot running Pi-Star. I had hit a few roadblocks with the configuration, and I found your site had (by far) the most accurate and complete information for the various configuration options.… Thank you so much for putting this all together and making it accessible for as many as possible. This truly reflects the spirit of ham radio.
– Mike, KC3PEX, Pennsylvania, May 2020

Thanks for the amazing web site tutorial on Pi-Star. I have been winging it for years. Pi-Star is simple to get running and works well but getting in depth knowledge on all the options on all the screens … well that is a different story. I wish I had found your web site earlier. It is absolutely worthy of being an ebook and offered on Amazon.
– Ken, AA7JC, Arizona, May 2020

I received my STM-32DV in the mail yesterday. As a total noob to the digital world I am lost. While looking for information on all the terminology in the setup pages I discovered there is no written manual on the Pi Star.uk page. While looking for help I found your writeup. Although I haven't had the time to go thru all of it it appears to be what I was looking for. A basic setup guide for noobs. Thanks.
– Clif, KA5IPF, Texas, Oct 2019

Thanks again for the great resource you maintain.

Great job with the Pi-Star notes. Ran into the page and it's the first I've seen that really breaks down the gateway configuration to something that makes sense. Much appreciated!

I came across your website while doing some research into what new hams are saying about D-STAR. I can honestly say, I enjoyed your writings on the subject and how you made sense of the chaos of the "Alphabet Soupese" many just blurt out while talking about D-STAR. I can say I am a fan!

I just wanted to take a minute to personally thank you for your website and all the work you have put into it. I started out trying to learn D-Star, and in past few months have gotten into DMR. With the help of a couple of local Ham's I got a code plug for my GD-77 and started making QSO's. After spending time on you excellent website I know just enough to become dangerous. With in the last two weeks I purchased a ZUMspot Pi and have a hotspot. It took me till last night with your website's help to get it up and running on DMR. Needless to say I was pumped. Now with your website's help I am now going to tackle D-Star. Again I want to Thank You for your Time, Effort, and sharing your knowledge.

I just read your article on 'Diving into D-Star' and it was a really good reading. It is the first time since I am "diving" into d-star that I managed to put some order in my thoughts regarding how everything connects and works together. It also helped me to sort out some issues I have been encountering in my own setups since quite a while. Just wanted to say thank you….

Thank you for documenting your D-Star experiences. It is wonderful tutorial that has helped me get started with D-Star!
