Now that truly is a foolhardy assertion! 73--John I don't think so, I fully agree with Ed, I have seen many user´s drop off dstar, due to callsign routing technique not satisfying their desire to listen in on a qso first before joining in. To justify Ed´s point, you could shut down dplus on all gateway´s, and watch Last Heard to see the difference in activity. I know where I would wager a bet on the difference. vk4tux
