Whatisthereector? D
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.
