D-Star

I'm active on D-Star with an Icom IC-91AD and monitor 145.67 simplex in Digital Voice (DV) mode. There are currently no D-Star repeaters in Tulsa. The closest repeaters are in NE Oklahoma City, Ozark (SW Missouri Springfield area), Kansas City, and St. Louis.

A good source of information on D-Star is the Texas Interconnect Team website in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.

A few open source D-Star projects:
DV-DONGLE is an adapter you can use to connect to D-Star gateways around the world with your computer enabling you to talk to other D-Star users without a D-Star radio. The DV-DONGLE is available for purchase at HRO. Search for dv-dongle under "Model".
Satoshi Projects by Satoshi Yasuda 7M3TJZ/AD6GZ are hardware adapters to use an analog 9600 baud rig on D-Star.
D-STAR GMSK Node Adapter Yahoo Group supporting the Satoshi Project board.
W9ARP D-STAR Hot Spot Software to create a D-Star Hotspot using the Satoshi Project board.
G4ULF's Linux D-Star Project - an open source D-Star repeater.

 

JNOS

I'm in the beginning stages of setting up a JNOS node in Tulsa to learn how it operates in order to become proficient in passing emergency traffic should the need arise. My address is 44.78.08.40 and my hostname is ka5j.ampr.org.
