I will be at Dayton tomorrow, but what I'm suggesting would require a change to the D-Star radios to first set one of the unused flag bits in the header. This change would need to be made to existing (or at least future) D-Star radios before a change to the gateway server code would do any good. Unless you are talking about somehow examining the slow speed payload and trying to make a determination of the reason why the transmission was initiated. But I don't think you can count on figuring it out reliably from the slow speed data.
