About the DV Gateway function
Even if you cannot access a D-STAR repeater, you can make Gateway calls with the DV Gateway function� The
function has two modes, the Terminal mode and the Access Point mode�
L Other stations can also directly communicate using the DV Gateway function, only if they use call sign routing�

software as the access point�*
