My question was: How is this done? It's not always on and I'd like to be able to turn them on. Perhaps that's not something that general users of a system have access to but I would still like to understand how it's done.
Also, is DPlus required or can these reflectors be listened to, without DPlus. Again, what about just listening to traffic on a distant repeater (not a reflector). Is that possible? It seems that "listening" is very important part of ham radio. That's often how one finds someone to make contatct with. So far, all I have learned is local communications using a DV repeater and trying to use routed calls. Neither of which justifies use of D-Star. Is there a way, for general users of a DV Repeater to turn on distant repeaters (to listen) or reflectors, similar as is done with IRLP (similar meaning the way they are used; not necessarily controlled).
