Hmm, not sure. All it takes to be "homed" is for them to key up on any module, right? If you're calling someone who hasn't keyed up -- then they may or may not be on the module they were "last heard" on. But that's just normal for D-STAR. To be sure the network can find you, you have to key up whenever you switch modules... I think (if people are good about always keying up once on whatever module they're listening to, and their header was received -- another problem that plagues D-STAR, since data isn't error-corrected), it generally fixes most of the follow-me routing issues. Our Gateway is back up if you want to do any tests to here on W0CDS... I'll be at work for another 15 minutes or so, then headed home, to do more work... it's been a long couple of weeks... probably monitoring W0CDS B on the way home... or link it to a Reflector or something. The ISP guy was apologetic about some problems they were having, but we weren't worried about it. I told him, no worries... "No ham radio geeks were harmed during the filming of this movie." (He's a ham.) Feel free to callsign route to me, I have the HT and the mobile with me, so I can "monitor" both B and C here at the same time and we can play, if you want to. Nate WY0X
