The D-STAR repeater operates similar to an existing analogue repeater. That is a simple relay of transmit and receive communication within or across the 2m, 70cm or 23cm bands. When D-STAR repeaters are connected with the Internet gateway, the D-STAR system relays the received data over the Internet.
