2. It’s part of the Amateur Radio hobby. It’s part of ARES EmComm So, let’s look at what it can do 2

3. Local Repeater This is W9CHA, anyone around? W9CHA this is K3NON How are you doing? 3

4. Local – with Gateway This is W9CHA, anyone around? W9CHA this is K3NON How are you doing? W9CHA this is KJ4G Also listening 4

5. Linked Repeaters This is W9CHA Anyone around? I’m here I’m just listening 5

6. Where Are The Repeaters?

7. Where to find repeaters… 7

8. Where Are We Now? There is a D-Star repeater network from Tampa/St Petersburg up thru Sumter, Marion, and Lake counties to Orlando and Daytona Beach, then north to Jacksonville and Tallahassee and south to Ft pierce. Even Disney World has one.

12. MESH Networks - EmComm Mesh networking (topology) is a type of networking where each node must not only capture and disseminate its own data, but also serve as a relay for other nodes, that is, it must collaborate to propagate the data in the network. Mesh networking (topology) is a type of networking where each node must not only capture and disseminate its own data, but also serve as a relay for other nodes, that is, it must collaborate to propagate the data in the network.node The self-healing capability enables a routing based network to operate when one node breaks down or a connection goes bad. As a result, the network is typically quite reliable, as there is often more than one path between a source and a destination in the network. Although mostly used in wireless scenarios, this concept is also applicable to wired networks and software interaction.
