Well, in Australia, Foundation class licensees are NOT allowed to use D-STAR. However, a couple were active before this rule was clarified, and their 7 letter calls worked fine on D-STAR. THe only time 7 letters is a problem is when it's the repeater's callsign, as this breals port routing (because of the extra slash). 73 de VK3JED / VK3IRL http://vkradio.com
