John,
Thanks for the confirmation, I didn't have the radio to test. Good news.

Just a word here.
D-STAR Digital Data as implemented by Icom uses the D-STAR Frame for routing on air and from gateway to gateway. So you will want to test before deploying a network in a mesh environment.
I'm not sure if ID-1s treat UR:CQCQCQ as a broadcast for DD, thus enabling an IP payload to transparently go to multiple receivers. I don't know the answer, but I'd test well. The test could be performed with two ID-1s on DD simplex (not RPS) and setting both to UR:CQCQCQ and try to pass traffic. The payload is Ethernet frames, so it should just act as an Ethernet bridge over RF if the CQCQCQ D-STAR address functions as broadcast.
The protocol itself is ambiguous on this point.
Actually it does, which I've found out experimentally in the past.
