D-Star Self Registration Instructions

Open a web browser and enter https://dstar.nc2ec.org/Dstar.do -OR- http://www.dstarusers.org/repeaters.php and find the D-Star repeater system closest to you. Click on the link after “Registration URL:” for your repeater. For example, if you live in Georgia, scroll down to W4DOC and click on https://w4doc.dstargateway.org/Dstar.do. If a “Registration URL:” is not listed for your closest repeater, contact the administrator of the repeater for instructions. Notice that you are using https and not http for the prefix and that the letter “D” is capitalized in the word “Dstar.do”. You will receive a warning similar to the one below. Select “Continue to this website” if using Internet Explorer, or “Accept this certificate temporarily for this session” if using Firefox, or “Continue” if using Apple Safari.
