D What is a reflector?
A reflector is a special server connected to the Internet
and running a version of the D-Plus software. If the D-Plus
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 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.

D Unlinking a reflector
Before trying to link to another reflector, BE SURE to unlink
the current connected reflector.
NOTE: If a reflector is already connected, ask on the
air whether or not you can change reflectors and wait
for responses. BE SURE to reconnect back to the same
reflector when you finish your conversation.
