Hi Catrina,
I went to the D-Star calculator. plugged in Connie's Call (KB0ZSG) and it gave
me:
Programming for talking to KB0ZSG
YOUR:: KB0ZSG**
RPT1: KR4AIK*C
RPT2: KR4AIK*G
"*" represents a space
The following entry is what Connie would have to do to reply to me:
Set RPT1 and RPT2 to your local module and gateway , Set YOUR to /KR4AIKC or
just hit the RX->CS button and say Howdy!

In one word NO! The UR (YOUR) field is 8 digits - if you count the digits
(including the /) it totals 8, with the port in the 8th position. IF the
repeater had a 5 digit call(i.e. W1AAD) THEN THERE WOULD be a space (/W1AAD C).
The PORT must be in the 8th position and you have to add one or two spaces for
shorter calls.
