You do not "connect" to an RP2D. You set it your radio to talk through the repeater. If you have the other station's callsign in URCALL, the RP2D's callsign in RPT1, and nothing in RPT2, you will only talk to the other station if and only if you are in RF line-of-site. If you try to just use the IP address of the other station's PC, again you will only be able to talk if you are in RF line-of-site. You can talk to another station via the -gateway- as that system fully buffers each Ethernet packet before determining routing. While this can make it appear that the RP2D is repeating, it is actually the gateway that is routing the Ethernet packets back to the same RF channel. Remember that this is a very slow, half-duplex operation that becomes very susceptable to collisions when used this way. 73, Pete AE5PL
