Oh, sure you can! (GRIN) Just pop his callsign in the UR field and call away... the network will automatically route your call to the last known repeater he was on. I've found a couple of old friends and talked to them this way... just had to try for a few days until I figured out when they were on the air! He'll have to understand to hit his one-touch button to callsign route BACK to your call, if he's been doing D-STAR for a while, he should know how. Hopefully. Just announce that you're callsign routing to him, give a long call, and if you like say something like "calling you via callsign routing from the XX1XXX repeater, port Bravo -- but you can just push and hold your one-touch button to route back to me!", or whatever... in case he has no clue what that means... Piece of cake. -- Nate Duehr, WY0X n...@natetech.com
