Just saw a note from Mike AE0MW that your registration request has been approved. The most important thing is don't try to register on any other repeater. That can really foul things up.
I don't know how Mike's repeater works, since different admins have different procedures, but some of them, after establishing your callsign in their database, take the next step for you and set up a "terminal" with your callsign and a blank "initial" or "node extension". This is what everyone needs to get started. Other repeater procedures are to have you log on, once your call is in their database, and you need go to the Personal Information tab and create a new terminal with a blank "initial." When that is completed, it can take from an hour to 24 or more hours for that information to propagate though the worldwide network. But typically it is pretty quick. If you need to do the above, your repeater folks may have their own documentation. If not, take a look at http://www.dstargateway.org/D-Star_Registration.html Jim - K6JM PS, to see if your information has propagated out, go to http://query.ki4swy.org/index.php and put in your callsign. ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, August 16, 2010 1:01 PM Subject: [DSTAR_DIGITAL] How long does it take get registered with the gateway system? I just started getting into this DSTAR stuff, and I have a question. I just purchased a DV access point, and went to the nearest DSTAR repeater to get registered. That was last week, and I have not heard anything since. I tried going back to the gateway to login, but I get "ERROR!! : The registration of this CallSign not approved ! " I also tried re-registering, but that gives me an error about already being in the system. Does this mean I have been rejected, or is the sysop too busy to get to it yet? The error code is not very specific. It tells me to go to my "local" DSTAR repeater, but this is my nearest one, 100+ miles away, way out of repeater range. Should I just try to go on to another repeater somewhere else, or wait a couple more weeks and try again? license agreement from webpage: Welcome to the KD0IAN D-Star Repeater. Please note that only local area users who are known to the system administrators will be allowed to register on this gateway. Out of area users should register on their local D-Star gateway.
