Making a Gateway CQ call
You can make a Gateway CQ call when a destination
repeater is selected in “TO” (Destination).
What is a Gateway CQ Call?
• Calling CQ through a repeater connected to the
Internet.
• You can call CQ to areas where you cannot
directly access, because the communication is
routed through the Internet.
Step 1: Set “FROM” (Access repeater)

Calling an individual station
You can make a call to an individual station when
the station call sign is selected in “TO” (Destination).
When you call an individual station through a
gateway, your call is automatically sent to the last
repeater that the station accessed. So, even if you
don’t know where the station is, you can make a call
using Call Sign Routing.
