Hi I have just purchased a OpenSpot 2 and should be here in a week,I’m currently studying to get my foundation Licence so have no call sign yet,my question is can I still set up my OpenSpot 2 without a callsign to listen to Dstar etc,obviously I don’t want to transmit without a license, any help would be greatly appreciated many thanks Tony

Just to add,I already have a kenwood TH-D74E and can listen to Dstar on my local repeater with no callsign with my Yagi

You have to fill in the callsign field, as servers require the callsign of the connecting client. Some older D-STAR servers also require a D-STAR callsign registration, which needs a valid callsign, but the majority of D-STAR servers are now running XLX which does not check callsign validity.
