About Reflectors

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.
