One thing to keep in mind is that the registration callsign does NOT have to be the same as the hotspot's callsign. For example, my hotspot (currently off air due to having just moved house) is VK3JED C (it normally sits on 2 metres), but its registration on the trust server is VK3JED N. This is a valid configuration, and is quite common. There is a lot of flexibility in how hotspots can be setup. 73 de VK3JED / VK3IRL http://vkradio.com
