Does the IC 7300 have D star?
Using the IC-9700 and IC-7300 creates the ultimate, compact radio station covering the VHF, UHF, HF and 1200 MHz bands. The IC-9700 is the only VHF/UHF all mode transceiver that enables a variety of VHF/UHF operation including DX, contests, satellite/EME and D-STAR.
What is D star enabled?
Getting set up with D-STAR D-STAR Gateways enable users to connect from a local D-STAR repeater, equipped with a D-STAR Gateway, to any other Gateway equipped D-STAR repeater. Once an Amateur is registered with a repeater gateway, it can connect to D-STAR users beyond the local repeaters.

Does ICOM 7300 need power supply?
Answer: You need to purchase an external power supply. I use the TekPower TP50SW 50 Amp 13.8V Analog Power Supply. It works nicely with the IC-7300.
Do I need a hotspot for DMR?
Yes, you need a DMR hotspot. A hotspot is simply an internet gateway to a particular DMR network (Brandmeister/TGIF). DMR Hotspots have become very popular due to the expansion of the Brandmeister Network in recent years.
How does DMR hotspot work?
A DMR hotspot is a gateway that allows your radio to connect to a digital network like Brandmeister or DMR-MARC. You can also use your hotspot to connect to other digital network’s like Yaesu System Fusion and D-Star. Most hotspots operate as a simplex gateway. The hotspot above is commonly called a PiSpot.
Is D-Star Radio Dead?
D-Star is dead. It is been dying a slow and painful death for some time now. Curious. D-Star is the one digital voice mode on which I can always find people to talk to.
What is the objective of D-Star?
The goal of the project is to develop expertise in various aspects of satellite design and operation. The satellite weighs just 1 kilogram and utilizes a UHF uplink and a VHF downlink. In 2015, FlexRadio Systems added D-STAR support to their line of HF transceivers and receivers via a software upgrade.
