Too many people have sent me off list email telling me I don't know what
I am doing (some were very insulting).
I'm no expert, but I have read much of the documentation.
Yes, you CAN use your call on all of your radios simultaneously if you
don't want call sign routing to work properly (and routing updates take
about 36 minutes).
For routing to work correctly, you /MUST /differentiate the radios.
I want to have my radios individually identifiable plain and simple.
Just like I don't want my home phone, cell phone, and work phone to have
the same number.
I have confirmed that what I am doing is correct, and a documented way
to do it.
Please see the US trusts Dstar 101 presentation slides 74-77 and 28 at:

From the ARRL & Alabama Dstar(page 19):

There are other references as well.
It even appears that I am using the A for my ID-1 inappropriately:

In short, there is a flaw in the system (not a big deal,most systems
have flaws). I must either wait to see if my local system ever comes
back online, or get the trust to delete my information and re-register.
If you disagree with how I am doing this, fine. If you believe I am in
need of further education on this matter, fine. There is no reason to
insult me, my intelligence, call me a "No code tech idiot" (check first,
I'm an Extra, originally licensed almost 25 years ago in the code days
with a csce for 20wpm), etc.
Thank You
