So, mechanism 1, is what I would use if I was trying to reach person X, in location Y and mechanism 2 would be for general CQ to person unknonw, in location Y? At least that sounds like what one might want. Anyway, I'm going to try and contact the WA7FW B repeater group today and see if I can

When you say "register on the gateway" do you mean "registering" as in providing information to someone? The only link I see on that page about joining anything is for installing a new gateway to the network. Mike --- In dstar_digital@yahoogroups.com, "John D. Hays" wrote: > http://dstarusers.

Mike, Well, except AK is Alaska, not Arkansas, KL7FF is in Ketchikan, but yes that's how you would program the radio. Though you need to be registered on the gateway system to do so - see http://dstarusers.org/viewrepeater.php?system=WA7FW for information about the Federal Way System and thei

Yep! Batteries next on my list. ;-) Last question for tonight. I'm woefully behind the tech curve on D- Star. But looking at the calculators begs this question: The following was given from the calculator, when I plugged in my local gateway, and a remote one in Arkansas. If I program my radio

I'm occasionally getting the repeater name scroll across the bottom of my screen. Is that a local function or is it an indication that the repeater has sent something to my IC-92AD? Also, if I check the RX CALL menu selection, I see the repeater name. --- In dstar_digital@yahoogroups.com, "J
