D-chat is a DV Data mode application that goes with the voice side of the ID-1. If you have ID-1s and sufficient path, you probably would be better served by using DD mode for file transfer, including email, etc., which should be around 100+ times faster, using a variety of programs and protocols including the possibility of drag and drop FTP. This works on simplex or through the gateway to remote facilities. There are no DD mode repeaters. The RP2D is an access point to give field located ID-1s access to Ethernet connected services through the gateway (such as Internet, email, web applications, FTP, etc.) or LAN, it does not directly repeat ID-1 traffic back to RF.
DD = 128 kbps Ethernet bridge (about 150khz wide channel) DV = 4.8 kbps signal, which includes 1.2 kbps available for "data" (D- Chat, D-RATS, etc.) in a 6.25 khz. wide channel.
