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 their registration URL. Once you are registered on one gateway, you are registered on all gateways (on the same network, about 300 or so), so if you are visiting Victoria or Vancouver or Atlanta or London, you can use the gateways there as well.
There are two steps to registration - basic registration, and once accepted, you will need to go back in and register at least one call sign (terminal) -- then you will be set. WA7FW is often already linked to a reflector, so listen for awhile and get used to it, and talk to some of the folks over there (its too far from Edmonds). WA7DAD is a good contact. ipscone wrote: > > Yep! Batteries next on my list. ;-) > > Last question for tonight. I'm woefully behind the tech curve on D- > Star.
