Tony and John , I agree fully.
And yes it is best to announce how you are coming in. */Here is a question for the Gateway Experts:/* On the issue of Update Latency; When a user call sign routes into a repeater does that repeater update the users table with their current information? Example: Lets say I have been on W1AW and now switch to W2AW. I make a (call sign route) call to N2LZ who is on W3AW . Will W3AW update my location information immediately with my new location (W2AW) or does it have to wait until the trust server update? If it would update from the traffic information, the mobile user could just make a callsign routed call back to their home repeater (or in Frans case, his sons home repeater), and this would immediately update their location on that repeater. I realize this doesn't correct the problem of update latency, but I think in many situations would provide an acceptable work around as most users only communicate with one or two repeaters on a regular basis.
