The D-Star repeater will work the same regardless of it being on or off the gateway. The only thing you will not have is the ability to go across the internet to other gateways. Typically I do all my voice and data local.

Okay, I am new to this and can't seem to find a straight answer. If I can't maintain a Gateway for the Internet, could the D-Star Repeater still transmit Voice and Data with users able to decipher data using D-Chat or whatever ohter platform that is out there. Or, Would this repeater be a stand-alone for transmitting digital voice only? Thanks in Advance, 73 Artie k2aau [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
