Thank you Kay for the enjoyable contact. I do hope folks outside Japan will remember to place their repeater call sign in their TX Message or say their repeater and module information several times to allow time for the JA station to manually program that information into their UR. First generation gateway software in Japan and second generation gateway software are not fully compatible without some patches, and features like call sign routing and one touch do not work.
