You can again make your own changes to your D-STAR callsign registration info. Since the attached email was written, I have been able to install the ICOM Registration page on a cloud server. Immediately after we shut down our ICOM D-STAR repeater and replaced it with our W6CX-DV MultiMode repeater, D-STAR users registered at W6CX had no way to make changes to their registration info. Though I was able to get the gateway pc working at my home, sans connections to a controller and radios, people have had to email me to make changes. So I have installed the ICOM registration page app and database on an inexpensive cloud server. The plan is to keep this available through November of this year, to give people a chance to manually move their registrations to another ICOM gateway, for example, the REGIST gateway. I will be sending out emails to users registered at W6CX to encourage them to move their registrations off of our system at a time that’s convenient for them, so they do not lose their ability to use D-STAR. For now, to access the W6CX D-STAR callsign registration page, go to our Dashboard at and click on the Registration link. On that page, click on the link called “Your callsign is registered at W6CX… Click here”.

Guess when you have time, I will need you to help me move my call sign to regist.
Do I need to create an account on regist. The registry show me on the W6CX gateway.

A great way to check if your callsign is still on W6CX or has been moved to REGIST is to go to In your case, Trevor, your callsign has been successfully moved to the REGIST server and deleted (meaning delete flag is set) from the W6CX database. So you are good to go and don’t need to do anything more to continue using D-STAR. Background ---------------- The D-STAR Trust Server Team, who operates the D-STAR network and also administers the REGIST D-STAR callsign registration gateway, has graciously offered to move callsigns registered at W6CX to REGIST. They are moving callsigns manually. I’ve given them the logon credentials to our W6CX registration system so they can delete a callsign from W6CX, then add it to REGIST. I have not asked them how long they think all this will take. When W6CX was a D-STAR only repeater, we ran ICOM software which includes the registration function. When we converted to MultiMode, we shut off the ICOM software. Usually that means if people who are registered on a gateway that is offline, they are out of luck if they want/need to make an update to their registration. While this is not needed very often, sometimes if one buys a new radio with new features, you need to update your registration to make use of a new feature. That is when people discover they can’t log onto the place where their callsign is. I did not want to do that to people who in good faith had registered at W6CX, so I set up a cloud server and installed the parts of the ICOM software that do registration. So people already registered at W6CX continued to be able to modify their info. Our registration page at has been directing people wanting to do a new registration to REGIST, but existing users have been ok using our cloud registration server. And now the Trust Server Team is gradually moving people to REGIST, one by one. When they are done, I will be able to shut down the cloud server.
