Thanks for the information, Kay. Many of us still remain baffled at why JARL would have left the D-Star specification without a way to hold nets over the gateway (non-local nets). The multicast group added to G2 was a gateway patch rather than a protocol specification to try to make this happen, but wasn't very useful. There must have been some decision making process, but what? Why doesn't Japan use G2? Does it violate some regulations over there? 73 -- John
