I hope that this is an easy question to answer. I've looked but haven't found the answer yet.
When I'm on my local D-Star repeater, W8DIG in Columbus, Ohio, I set RPT1 to W8DIG^^C and RPT2 to W8DIG^^G. When I key up, am I also coming out on the A and B ports, or do those ports have to be explicitly chosen in RPT2? The reason that I ask is that I live on the wrong side of town to reliably hit the repeater with a vertical antenna. I would like to get a small UHF beam to point towards the repeater. There's a Sunday evening net on port C, and I would be coming in port B, but I would like to keep RPT2 set to the gateway for the dongle users. I know that I can set RPT1 to the B port and RPT2 to the C port, but that leaves out the dongle users. I will look at a 2-meter beam if using the gateway doesn't also cross-band me to all ports (which if I had to guess would be correct). 73, Ned Raybould N8OIF
