[Dstar] Re Programming IC92AD Memories

[Michael Carey]

My apologies.
While it wasn't in-your-face apparent on the actual radio, it is quite 
clear with the RS-91 software.
It also looks like each memory channel (when programmed with a D-Star 
frequency) can have it's own callsigns programmed independently of the 
callsign memories. You can freely enter whatever callsign you want with 
the computer software.
Michael.
