-
cally saved into the Memory channel.
“UR?” appears
The call was successfully sent, but no station’s signal was
immediately received.
The listening station may missed your call, so after waiting
for a while, try calling again.
“RPT?” or “RX” appears
The destination repeater was not found, there is a pro
-
gramming error, or the destination repeater was busy.
When “RPT?” is displayed, wait for a while, then try calling
again, because in the gateway call, a signal is sent even if
the destination repeater is busy.
NOTE:
“RPT?” is displayed when;
• the repeater call sign programming is error.
• your own call sign is not registered on a gateway re
-
peater, or the registration contents is not matched.
• the destination call sign is not registered on a gateway
repeater, or the registration contents is not matched.
• the destination repeater cannot be accessed.
“RX” is displayed when a blank MY call sign memory
has been selected.

Therefore, we select “CQCQCQ” in “TO” after you finish last call, to
prevent an accidental transmission to an undesired destination.

• When you select just the repeater name, the repeater call sign, its
frequency, duplex setting and frequency offset are automatically set.
• The repeater list, described in this manual, may differ from your
transceiver’s preset contents.
• You have four other ways to set your access repeater, other than
selecting it from repeater list.
You can select by rotating [DIAL], Search for the nearest repeat
-
er, Setting from the TX History or Search for a repeater using the
DR mode scan. See the Advanced Instruction for more details.
The following destination station/repeater setting methods are also
possible. See the ‘ “TO” (Destination) setting’ described in Advanced
Instructions, section 3, for details.
• Using [DIAL]
• Setting from the RX History
• Setting from the TX
History
• Direct Input (UR)
• Direct Input (RPT)
• When you call an individual station call sign through a gateway,
the signal is automatically sent to the last repeater that the station
accessed.
So, even if you don't know where the station is, you can make a
call using call sign routing.
• See ‘Your (destination) call sign programming’ described in
Advanced Instructions, section 4, for details.
