Steve, You are correct, and that's what I was referring to . If you stay on a single repeater, call sign forwarding should be immediate, since the local software arbitrates the session.
And I'd have to say that using different call signs breaks call sign routing even more, because your call sign is going to the last place a radio transmitted, not the last place you transmitted. If I used suffixes for each of my radios, then people would have to try A then B then C then D then E then F then G.

Gary brings up a very good point about the time needed for the system to update call signs when moving between repeater sites using call sign routing. Updates into JA are pretty much done on an hourly basis (so it seems). The patch between G1 in JA and G2 elsewhere may predicate this. This may be inside information. The 1/2 hour thereabouts in the G2 network seems to be correct when moving between repeaters. Now the question for the guru's out there. Wasn't there an update to G2 some time back that made moves between different modules at a site update very quickly (or be handled on site without updating)? On the order of a minute or so ? This would be between modules within K2DIG (example) and not between different repeater sites. If this is true (and I am sure I will find out soon) then you may still have the function you are looking for without having to register different call signs provided you use only one repeater site. Just a thought. Thanks in advance and best luck to you Gary. steve nu5d
