At the risk of introducing confusion based on my inexperience using FS-3, I
will say that I do know when using the D72 with the ISS digipeater or with
any standard simplex digipeater, when your packet is repeated you do get
realtime visual and audio indication it was repeated. The radio makes a
unique audio alert when it receives its own packets repeated back and the
screen flashes "MY POSITION" above "via RS0ISS" or whatever the callsign of
the digipeater is. This can be seen in my video below. The limitation I am
familiar with is that your repeated/received packets do not then show up in
the LIST, which can be confusing, as it was for me as seen in the below.
video. I believe the D74 does allow you to view your repeated/received
packets in its LIST.
