Hi Hank, Its not limited to JA. I believe anyone using a gateway not linked to a reflector making a source routed call to either a user or a gateway repeater will be heard only by the one gateway repeater. The station replying using one touch, on a linked gateway repeater will be routed to the one touch call sign plus to the linked repeaters, causing folks linked to hear a one sided conversation.
That is where the rub comes into play. Icom gateways and linking do not exactly play well together. (not bad, but maybe could be better). best regards, steve - > Hi Steve, > > There you got me - I know that the Japan stations play by a different set of > rules.
