D-STAR

D-STAR REF reflectors on Android.

Pick a REF reflector and a module from the list the app keeps current, and talk. No hotspot and no gateway to set up.

What REF reflectors are

REF is one of the families of D-STAR reflectors. A REF reflector links D-STAR stations over the internet and is split into modules named by letters.

REF reflectors link callsigns registered for D-STAR, and the app checks each time you link. It tells you plainly when your callsign needs registering, to link or to transmit.
