®
INTRODUCTION
• In the original D-STAR
®
(Digital Smart Technologies
for Amateur Radio) plan, JARL envisioned a system
of repeaters grouped together into Zones.
• The transceiver can be operated in the digital voice
mode, including low-speed data operation, for both
transmit and receive. It can also be connected to a
GPS receiver* to transmit and receive position data.
* Compatible with an RS-232 output/NMEA format/
4800bps/9600 bps
• The transceiver has a Time-Out Timer function for
digital repeater operation. The timer limits a con-
tinuous transmission to approximately 10 minutes.
Warning beeps will sound approximately 30 seconds
before time-out and then again immediately before
time-out.

About the DR (D-STAR
®
Repeater) mode
The DR (D-STAR
®
Repeater) mode is one mode you
can use for D-STAR
®
repeater operation. In this mode,
you can select the preprogrammed repeater or fre-
quency in “FROM” (the access repeater or simplex),
and UR call sign in “TO” (destination), as shown to the
right.
NOTE:
If the repeater, set to “FROM” (Access Re-
peater) has no Gateway call sign, you cannot make
a gateway call.
