AA4RC announced that he was going to add a Text Message to show who you are linked to on your local repeater - not the status of the distant repeater. I have been using Dplus linking to connect K5CTX B to different parts of the world lately. Format UR=GB7IC^BL will link the repeater that I am using to GB7IC Module B. The folks on IC will hear a 'Remote System Linked' voice message, and I can listen to the conversations in progress and perhaps join in if applicable. Always remember you are visiting someone else's system and be courteous and flush (Unlink) when finished. The same http://www.opendstar.org/tools/readme.txt covers linking. See http://groups.yahoo.com/group/DStar-Gateway/message/2417 on the gateway yahoo group for AA4RC's message about the Text Status Message. 73, Steve grwin wrote: > I was looking for a code which might allow me to check a distant > repeater's availability but I think that if I program for the distant > repeater and if it returns UR* then I'm in and that might answer the > preceding query. > -- "It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish."
