Hi, If a JA is on a DV Dongle, you should be able to talk with him two-way without problem because he is on your DPLUS link. If you can hear him, he can hear you too. As far as DV Dongle is concerned, there is no difference between JAs and others.
Even if you One-Touch and set UR to something other than CQCQCQ, as far as RPT2 points to your gateway which is linked, your audio is heard by everyone (including JAs and everyone on a DV Dongle) on the same link. (You may be also heard by someone on your UR though.) So you should be able to communicate two-way. This is my understanding. 73, -- JI1BQW - Kay Ishikawa ----------------------- Original Message ----------------------- On Thu, 10 Sep 2009 14:23:41 -0000 "john_ke5c" <k...@hot.rr.com> wrote: > > Several mornings there has been a Japanese station or two on Reflector 1C > > calling CQ.
