IDRP1200VD – The 1.2 GHz Repeater That Puts the “Star” in D-STAR
Ready to boldly go where most hams haven’t gone before? Say hello to the IDRP1200VD, a 25W D-STAR repeater operating in the elusive 1240–1300 MHz range—also known as the magical realm of 1.2 GHz. This isn’t your grandpa’s repeater (unless your grandpa is a next-gen radio wizard). With support for DV, DD, and FM modes, it’s basically the Swiss Army knife of repeaters… if Swiss Army knives came with antennas and digital voice capabilities.
Why the IDRP1200VD Is the Cool Kid of the Repeater Rack:
- 25 Watts of High-Frequency Muscle – Perfect for slicing through the upper-UHF jungle like a digital machete.
- Covers 1240–1300 MHz – That’s right, we’re talking microwave band. It’s like your radio just got a pilot’s license and a jetpack.
- DV / DD / FM Modes – Digital Voice? Check. Digital Data? Check. Classic FM? Check. It’s like having three repeaters in one, without the clutter.
- 2U Rack Height – All the power, none of the bulk. It’ll fit nicely in your setup without asking for a room addition.
- D-STAR Ready – Your gateway to the future of amateur radio. Or at least to impressing everyone at Field Day.
Whether you’re building a high-speed D-STAR network, pushing the envelope of digital data transfer, or just want to flex your 1.2 GHz street cred, the IDRP1200VD is your ride-or-die repeater.
Because when it comes to the microwave band, go big… or go analog.
