Just in your response you responded with FUD about the ID-1 and low speed data. All of your statements were essentially saying "I doubt that they will work" "I fear that the cost of the ID-1 is too much" D-PLUS was created before the DVDongle. D-PLUS is NOT REQUIRED for a D-STAR repeater, or one that is connected to the Trust Server. Again, DPLUS IS NOT REQUIRED! Of course not installing it would probably be foolhardy as linking is pretty much a way of life for may repeaters. That's not what the e-mail I have from the Trust Server team said when I turned up W0CDS. I can produce that e-mail if you like. Ask Robin or Pete or the Trust Team if DSTARMON or DPLUS is REQUIRED. It is not. I know what the letter says. And there are repeaters on the US Trust Server who do not have them installed. People refusing to learn c allsign routing IS NOT THE ONLY REASON. I know how to do it (after all, I kinda wrote the book). But I don't like its implementation. I don't use it. I think that it is a relatively ill-conceived function that was only half-heatedly though through. I believe that you also may be making a mistake to believe that Icom's gateway implementation is the way that it was intended to be utilized. It's the way *Icom* intended THEIR GATEWAY You statement was "THE ONLY REASON" I had another reason, therefore your point is incorrect. Nate WY0X
