What is a reflector?
A reflector is a special server connected to the Internet and running a version of the

repeaters anywhere 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.
