UR=/XNXXX C where XNXXX is the call sign of the distant repeater, C is the module in the 8th character position and the '/' distinguishes the call sign from that of an individual station and that of a repeater.
This is not mentioned in the readme text file link I sent because this is native to DSTAR and not DPLUS, which is an add on to the DSTAR protocol. You should get an UR* or YOUR response depending on the model of radio you use for a successful (far end not busy) call. Also if the far end is linked using DPLUS you call will also go to stations in the link. Their reply will not go back to you, however, unless they capture your call sign, hence when I source route I announce "please capture my call or set UR=my repeater to reply" Unlike DPLUS, leave the UR=/XNXXX C for the duration of the call. Unfortunately many have forgotten how to use DSTAR without DPLUS linking. steve On Mon, Feb 8, 2010 at 8:49 PM, John <n0m...@gmail.com> wrote: > Ok, one more question...When connecting to a D-Star repeater for the > purpose of contacting anyone who happens to be listiening.
