D-Star is still wining

[KE5KTU]

Ok, so I have been trying to get my 880H on the air for about a month now. I have had some wonderful help, but I am still not able to call another sation, or a gateway call. I have registered my call and set up two, KE5KTU and KE5KTU M. I am down here on the W5GAD C repeater and am trying to call in to the K5RKN B repeater. I set the UR /K5RKN.B, the RP1 W5GAD..C, the rp2 W5GAD..G, no luck. I have also tried a direct call, UR KF5IZ, RP1 W5GAD..C, RP2 W5GAD..G, no luck. One time I did change my call to someone else's and was able to call out, but have not been able to repeat this. I can hear people call in to me, but they can not hear me call out to them.... Any ideas befor I decide to sell the radio ?

Jake,

From everything you describe, your trouble is related to MYCALL not being in the Gateway.  The only entry propagated for you is KE5KTU_M.  Set your MYCALL to that value.  Most of us set up our call with a space character in the 'Initial' field on the Gateway, which gives a valid entry with just the call.  I do not see that entry for you in the database.

Ok, I will give that a shot... I am wondering what happened to the one that I set up with a space ! Thanks, I will post here what happened once I get a chance to try it out later today.
  Again, thanks
