The only piece that is used for callsign routing is the 8 character callsign field, not the 4 character extension. This means that you should use W8VVL followed by 2 spaces and then a space or A through Z in the 8th character position to differentiate between the two radios. If you intend to use these radios in conjunction with a gateway, you must also register each full callsign and ID (ID is eighth character).
