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.

reflectors and wait for responses.
