It's a built-in, and I don't believe there's any way for the local Gateway admin to turn that feature on and off.
http://www.opendstar.org/tools/readme.txt If D-Plus is installed (virtually all US systems and most others, but not in Japan), it should do it. Easy to test locally with a pair of rigs. or a friend on the phone on a different module. just to make sure it works before you change your Net format to utilize it. Some people use it as a way to do a "local CQ" on all modules also. "WY0X calling CQ on all modules of W0CDS, listening on Port Bravo." Then someone listening say, on an ID-1 who doesn't have VHF/UHF, would be able to reply via many methods. as one useful example.

It sounds like a small 2m beam is my best bet to hit my local repeater and check into their Sunday night net on port C. I do have a DV Dongle, but I prefer to come in via RF if at all possible. I presume that the "broadcast to all modules" feature of D-Plus is a mode that the system admin has to set up. Is that correct? 73, Ned Raybould N8OIF [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
