My guess: It sounds to me like you have RPT1 and RPT2 programmed incorrectly, but you're benefiting from the rig's default settings to "auto-program" them once it hears a repeater ID on the frequency. You transmit and the repeater replies with a RPT packet (standard for a non-callsign-routed repeater transmission to a fake callsign like CQCQCQ.) If that's not it, or you need more info -- ask the local Gateway Linux Server System Administrator to either look at (live) the dplus.log or give them an exact date/time of your transmission you're curious about, and have them send you a snippet of the dplus logs. It'll show your exact header information *as copied by the repeater* and you can see if you're on the fringe (data header information is NOT error corrected, voice packets are), or if you have something programmed incorrectly that the rig is changing after you key up... etc. -- Nate Duehr, WY0X [email protected] facebook.com/denverpilot twitter.com/denverpilot
