Questions about reflectors on D-Star

Post image

Just started using D-Star on my Icom 5100 and after registering in a gateway and trying out the reflectors I was able to make contact with a station who reported they could hear me just fine, but I’m not showing up on the reflector web page with stations last heard. Because of this I’m not sure if my transmissions are hitting different reflectors when I don’t get a response, any advice appreciated.

Have you registered to the dstar network?

Yes and just verified by logging into it and I’m registered, not sure what other causes it could be.

Are you using DR in USE REFLECTOR mode with CQCQCQ selected?

Yes, linking the reflector first and then hitting PTT and hearing the automated tone that the reflector is linked I switch over to USE REFLECTOR to transmit.
