Any idea when the JARL will allow you all to install D-Plus??? As far as the R2 goes, DPLUS: with R2 ON, this will tell the RP2C to pass your data stream to the gw. If you where on a dongle, you connect to a US gw, if we DO NOT have R2 enabled or ON, you will not hear our transmission. When you omit R2 your data stream goes from the receiver to the RP2C, and right back out, with out any information going to a connected gateway. R2 set to the local gw callsign and G, the RP2C will send that data stream to the gw software, thus traffic can be heard from the repeater. D-PRS (APRS); with R2 ON, this will send your position data to the gw, and the DPRS program will then send it out to the aprs-is server stream and show your position on an aprs viewing program, jfindU, or other like program (including dstarusers.org) With D-PRS, yes, you will get the RPT? every transmission, that is because the RP2C has not been updated to understand the even though URCALL is CQCQCQ, the data stream is still meant for the gateway. Once there is a RP2C firmware update, things can be adjusted correctly then... I have practically lost sight of the repeater responses unless I am doing CALL SIGN ROUTING.... or PORT TO PORT gateway routing... other then that, anything my 2820 shows is null to me.
