Presuming one has correctly entered the hotspot into the D-Star "repeaters" table, and selected that "repeater" (this is NOT reached using "memory" mode, you need to be in VFO, Long-press D-pad DOWN to bring up the repeater select table, Nearby Repeaters, ent -- your hotspot should be found [you do need a GPS lock])
On a D74:
LINK REFLECTOR
reflector command
Press PTT (when the hotspot is "listening"). This should activate the reflector through the hotspot.
USE REFLECTOR
CQCQCQ
You are done.
It actually goes much easier than it reads above.
I strongly recommend owners of the D74 download the so-called "in-depth manual" from Kenwood. It is essentially two essays focusing on the APRS and D-Star usage of the radio (unlike the 590SG IDM which has lots of technical details for that radio)
