It has already been proven that Icom's repeater implementation REPEATS even when not addressed by RPT1 field, if it hears ANYTHING digital. Co-Channeling D-STAR repeaters is by far the absolute worst design strategy ever. In-between users will bring up both repeaters (you can't stop it), and the repeaters will double. Very bad idea. Much pain lies down that path if there is ANY overlapping coverage in-between. Nate WY0X
