I believe if you'll look again, the callsign of the sending station is interlaced, but not RPT1/RPT2, and the destination address, which are the essential routing information. Plus, you're correct: Judging by the behavior, the repeater's don't look at that data or utilize it anyway. -- Nate Duehr, WY0X n...@natetech.com
