strictly speaking you shouldn't have to voice ID if the MyCall is left as is and the tactical call is in the MSG field.

The "standard protocol" includes AMBE encoded voice, which can be readily deciphered by anyone with a D-STAR radio and giving a "voice" ID over AMBE, I believe, would constitute a legal identification within the US rules. -- John, K7VE ------------------------------------ Please TRIM your replies or set your email program not to include the original message in reply unless needed for clarity.
