[DSTAR_DIGITAL] DVAP Help

[AllanM]

Hello all,
my name is Allan. i currently have the IC-92AD. the D-STAR repeater around me 
does Not have Gateway enabled. My question is, If I get the DV Dongle or make 
one, can i still use the Gateway if i have the DVAP or homebrew dongle? i 
really want to get on D-Star but still learning about the radio. please help me 
thanks,
                               Allan May, WD4ITE EC Mathews Co, VA
