I just wrote a new Project Page about the Tripple-P TXU-1256 as D-Star Repeater.
Go check it out if you want to know more about how I build a D-Star repeater with the Tripple-P TXU-1256.

saxIgate 0.1.7 released
01
Jul
A new version of saxIgate has been released (I know, it took a year)
Following changes have been made:
- Fixed a bug that would crash the app when a port was specified. Thx to OK1TEB for notifying me.
- Cleaned up code in main.c and distributed it over igate.c and msggate.c, for a cleaner approach.
- DNS error will no longer kill the application.
I would like to implement RF-TX for message gateway and dstar digipeating (so that dgps is also broadcasted on aprs-rf for stations in the vicinity) in the next version. Keep tuned.
You can download it from its googlecode page

It seems D-Star is still banned in france:
“All European countries allow now all HAM-DV modes (APCO25, MOTOTRBO, TETRA, etc …) and D-STAR with Internet access. France is the last country in Europe to prohibit these new technologies.”

TAKU JA3PTR just posted this message on DSTAR_DIGITAL, I think it might be nice to know:
When you call CQ via D-Star Repeater to Japan,set UR Call field like “UR:/JP３YHFA" You can not individually call (Don't write on Personal Callsign). "RPT1:Use your local repeater port" "RPT2:Gateway repeater callsign" Step on the same procedure when responding from CQ Call fromJapan. And when you calling CQ via Japanese D-Star Gateway Repeater,announce your repeater's call sign with port name. And, please repeat several times to write it down. Example UR :/JP３YHFA ( / ) is needed RPT1:WB4HRO C (C in 8th position) RPT2:WB4HRO G (G in 8th position) ( Thank you Kawa JF1TEU ) 73 TAKU JA3PTR
