It's easier than you think, Edward. set URCALL=/W8DIG^C (the VHF node where the net is) set RPT1=W8DIG^^B (the UHF node you come in on) set RPT2=W*DIG^^G (the gateway and Dongle users hear you)
you'll have to listen to node C to hear the net. But when it's your turn to talk, switch channels to UHF memory channel speak your piece then switch back to listen again. Just my opinion.
