After dropping my son off at school, I had breakfast with the gang from the Broken Arrow Amateur Radio Club at the Kenosha Cafe.
Guy had my day planned and sent me off to Ray's to work on his DVAP and Raspberry Pi.
The DVAP is a low-powered RF to Internet gateway for D-STAR traffic.
It works. Didn't take too long to make up a Raspberry Pi SD Card, get the Pi booted and set up with the DVAPTool program and then we were chatting to folks on the 030C reflector with his Icom ID-51 walkie talkie and the DVAP.
More to follow on this interesting aspect of ham radio. At this point, in a nutshell, suffice it to say, the audio is good (digital) there is a low-rate data sub channel and almost all D-STAR repeaters pipe their audio to the Internet. This makes it easy to make up "conference calls" of several users and repeaters.

Very simple Arduino code just to check out the board ... You can see how easy it is to use the digital I/O and the serial port .
