This makes perfect sense to me. I clearly see your need of RPT2 being set to a gateway. > D-PRS (APRS); with R2 ON, this will send your position data to the gw, and the > DPRS program will then send it out to the aprs-is server stream and show your > position on an aprs viewing program, jfindU, or other like program (including > dstarusers.org) APRS/D-PRS is something I am ignorant of, but have just googled it and found that this seems to be another area we are behind. There are DPRS I-Gates here in Japan too, but looks like they use a MS Windows software (DPRSInterface ?) with a dedicated receiver setup separately from the gateway. If it was a G2 gateway with an add-on (javAPRSSrvr ?), they wouldn't need a separate resource. > With D-PRS, yes, you will get the RPT? every transmission, that is because > the RP2C > has not been updated to understand the even though URCALL is CQCQCQ, the data > stream is still meant for the gateway.

I am learning a lot. 73, -- JI1BQW - Kay Ishikawa
