Good point John, It reminds me of a feature that was included in some update on G2 that results in an immediate update of the gateway's local database when hearing a call from an outside station. This feature is interesting as it compensate for the lack of responsiveness of the database update process so to make roaming a little easier. I have used it many times with "local" stations and it should indeed work with any callsign that's registered with USROOT. If a japanese call sign (registered with USROOT) calls us, our gateway will update it's local database with the actual gateway/repeater the call is originating from. The only difference between these guys and us is that their gateway does not update USROOT. As a result, their info is lost on subsequent update of our local database by USROOT. So although one can not route by callsign as a general rule, OneTouchReply should indeed work. Eager to hear a RF call from Japan. Thanks John. P.S. If I'm correct, Japanese gateways are not running G2, so the reverse is not possible; they can not OneTouchReply on us calling their systems.
