Update - end of June 2009

The modified G2 code continues to work very well with the latest release of Satoshi's firmware, 4.48.

One more change to the operation of my code - I have decided to remove my emulation of D-Plus from the code and use Robin Cutshaw's original D-Plus images.

These have been tested and work - the major benefit now is that my repeater will look and feel just like any other Icom G2 repeater, having D-Star Monitor and D-Plus, and any other application that can talk to the G2 RPC/Gateway packets.

I'm now in the process of modifying a Tait T800 repeater which will go into service as GB7MH. This is already reporting it's position and "Last Heard" information to www.dstarusers.org. It is also registered to the G2 Test Trust server kindly built by Jim McClellan.

Also registered to the same Trust server is a second repeater, G6TBA B. This exists only on dummy load, and it's purpose is to provide an on-going test-bed once GB7MH is moved to the live Trust server.
