No, I was directly addressing Randall's question: Can we have a server that will translate messages between D-STAR and APRS? The answer is "No" because D-STAR doesn't have messaging; any application that uses a serial data stream messages but D-STAR and the radios don't. Just like AX.25 doesn't do messaging but applications and protocols that use AX.25 can. I was very clear in my statement and you put words into my mouth that I didn't say. D-PRS is far more than "GATEWAYS monitor DPRS/position location data from user radios and integrating those transmissions into the world- wide APRS servers". I have also explained that but once again you misrepresented what that translation specification is and ignored the totality of what I have said. In so doing, you misrepresent the D- STAR protocol information and the D-PRS translation specification that I have presented here. 73, Pete AE5PL
