Previous view 6 D-STAR OPERATION Reflector operation DDWhat is the reflector? A reflector is a special server connected to the internet and running a version of dplus software. If the dplus software is installed on your access repeater, it provides various functions including gateway and reflector linking capabilities (It is known as the D-STAR reflector system). The D-STAR reflector system enables a number of D-STAR repeaters around the world to link to a reflector. This means that when you transmit through a D-STAR repeater linked to a reflector, your voice can be heard on other repeaters linked to the reflector, and you can hear other stations that are connected to the reflector.
