 If you monitor the traffic as you connect to the digipeater, you'll notice a few things:

   * Your callsign (in this case ''VE7HZF''), is being retransmitted by the digipeater as ''VE7HZF-15''.  See the [[/howto/ssid |SSID How-To]] page for more info.
   * The exchange takes more than twice the time of a direct connection because unlike a voice repeater that repeats in real time, a digipeater waits for you to stop transmitting before it repeats it.

+As Robert pointed out (see email with ''Subject: BPQ'' from Nov 4, 2023),  some digipeater require adding a port number (but some don't).

+Here is a short list of scripts that work as of Nov 5, 2023 (replace ''[callsign]'' with the destination callsign):

+<WRAP third column>
+  c ve7lso-8
+  conn
+  c [callsign]
+  conn

+<WRAP third column>
+  c ve7wod-8

+  c 2 [callsign]

+Note the ''2'' on the third line of the last script.  Failing to add the port number there will give the following error:
+  VE7SPR-8} DOWNLINK CONNECT NEEDS PORT NUMBER - C P CALLSIGN
+  Found script connection response CONNECT NEEDS PORT NUMBER - C P CALLSIGN
