Ahh yes, in my original reply to Kay I also forgot about D-PRS to APRS gateways. The Gateway callsign in RPT2 is required for that also. So the reasons for RPT2 to have the Gateway callsign in the U.S. more often are the following: 1. DV-Dongle users listening to repeater traffic. 2. D-Plus links. 3. D-PRS/APRS Gateways Thanks Evans.
