Thanks Iain, Snowing here at the moment, hope your in better weather than us. Yes, I understand that unlinking first is the customary command of choice, then to link wherever one desires. I think we are all a bit fogged as to where the system connects or leaves us from any point in our command

Graham, This is a little different than you are used to on IRLP. There are different ways to send your signal to a remote repeater but lets address the two most common. Let's say the remote repeater is WX1XXX, your local repeater GB1AAA, and your callsign is FX3ABC Mode 1 - Callsign Routing.

I don't think this is quite right. I don't believe the controller does automatic callsign routing between ports. (I don't think its that smart) The way I have always done this is: UR: W7XYZ <--- Remote Station MY: K7VE <--- My Station RPT1: WA7GIE C <--- 2 Meter repeater if I am on 2 meters

If I wish to connect for example to an overseas repeater : 1) Is there a means of checking that the desired repeater is available and 2) Is there any facility for the distant repeater sending out an ID thus confirming that I am making the trip as happens with IRLP Nodes? Thanks Graham

I believe, provided you are not using dplus linking, If the far end is busy you will get a RPT * or RPT ? in you display meaning the far end was busy and your call did not go out. If you get YOUR * or UR * then your call reached the far end and went out. I believe it is first come first served.
