Unless something has changed in her local area, when I regularly talked
to Connie, she usually was on a D-STAR repeater that was nearly
full-time linked to REFLECTOR 1C.
If you're calling someone on a D-PLUS LINKED Repeater that's connected
to a Reflector (conference server), it's generally better to just link
your local repeater to the Reflector also.
If you're callsign routing into a Repeater that's on a Reflector, the
first thing most folks listening will tell you to do is to connect to
the Reflector, since the two don't mix well.
Just a thought as I was reading your learning experience there. You'll
learn callsign routing just in time for someone to throw you a curve
ball and tell you to switch to Reflector linking. :-)
At the end of the day, it's best to learn all of the techniques, but
it's a lot to assimilate when you're brand new at it.
