Just a word here.
D-STAR Digital Data as implemented by Icom uses the D-STAR Frame for
routing on air and from gateway to gateway. So you will want to test
before deploying a network in a mesh environment.
I'm not sure if ID-1s treat UR:CQCQCQ as a broadcast for DD, thus
enabling an IP payload to transparently go to multiple receivers. I
don't know the answer, but I'd test well. The test could be performed
with two ID-1s on DD simplex (not RPS) and setting both to UR:CQCQCQ
and try to pass traffic. The payload is Ethernet frames, so it
should just act as an Ethernet bridge over RF if the CQCQCQ D-STAR
address functions as broadcast.
The protocol itself is ambiguous on this point.
Actually it does, which I've found out experimentally in the past.
