Nice idea, but unworkable in D-Star due to the fact that it's a single carrier system. If you take a real trunked system like MPT1327, trunked P25 or TETRA, then there multiple carriers per site (or timeslots in the case of TETRA) to allow multiple calls. In D-Star, there can only be one

Not quite true. If you have a small number of synced gateways talking to a Trust Server (which is actually the standard gateway software running in a Trust Server mode), when a station moves repeaters, the update is virtually instantaneous across all repeaters. In fact, after the initial

There are other reasons why the radio may generate a beep. The main one is loss of bit-sync. Every 21st frame has 0x55 0x2d 0x16 at the end - if you generate these at 20 or 22 frame intervals, sure enough, you get a beep. If you miss several, you get a beep. So, under weak conditions, you can
