D-STAR Gateway in Russia
Posted: 04 Jan 2014, 01:21
Dear All,
An opportunity to install a D-STAR gateway/transponder in Russia may materialise (Oryol Oblast). I would use it when I travel to Russia and would be keen to make it available for public use. The required output would be no more than 15-20W max, on an omnidirectional vertically polarised antenna. To my knowledge there is no D-STAR gateway whatsoever in a radius of 200Km or so.
My questions are:
1. According to the Russian regulation, would I be able to legally set it up without a local licence, for example as M0ZZM B?
1a. If yes, would this allow unattended operation?
2. If a licence is required, where could I apply, how much could it cost, and how long would it take to obtain it?
3. I would like it to be a low-cost system, therefore without cavity filters. In a UHF doplex setup, how much would the split frequency be?
3a. Would it be possible to have a cross-band system, such as UHF RX and VHF TX (or vice versa)?
4. Could I also add an Echolink gateway?
Many thanks.
