<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>You might consider using the "echo" feature of the gateway: (i.e. set RPT1 to xxxxxxx E or change MYCALL from CQCQCQ to /xxxxxxE). It should echo data back to you just like it does voice, so whatever you type should be repeated. That should help mitigate the reciever desense problem.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I would point out, I've done this on our local gateway (K0MDG in St. Louis) and it doesn't always echo 100%, especially if I'm marginal into the system. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>You could also try a simplex frequncy (low power) between the two radios - I've had good success with that.</DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 'serif'">Thanks for the reply. So far, I haven't been able to make this work with an IC-91 on the other side of the house from an ID-880 with an outside antenna. Next I guess I'll try one on Module B and one on C.</SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'sans-serif'">The answer would be yes, provided the radios are not desensing each other. If they can talk simplex to each other, they should work through the repeater. I have done this with an ID-800 and one of my IC-91's. The other IC-91 does not always, which does not surprise me since the 91's won't do DPL reliably either (not the greatest digital wave form).<BR><BR></SPAN><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'sans-serif'"></SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></div></body></html>
