Hi I observe what you just described quite often. You are likely to have listened the JA call through DPLUS linking. If the JA station was not routing to your repeater directly, your One-Touch did not work because your repeater/gateway did not have his(her) originating gateway information. Gatew

Hi, If a JA is on a DV Dongle, you should be able to talk with him two-way without problem because he is on your DPLUS link. If you can hear him, he can hear you too. As far as DV Dongle is concerned, there is no difference between JAs and others. Even if you One-Touch and set UR to something o
