There you got me - I know that the Japan stations play by a different set of rules. In fact the only JA contact I ever had was when he called, using a Dongle. to WB4HRO to talk to KJ4VO and I was already in QSO. My previous answer was based on the rest of the D-Star world (as I have experienced it). If you were specifically referring to Japanese contacts, I somehow missed that, so disregard. 73 Hank - KI4UMX
