To communicate through a repeater, your signal must access the repeater. The following chart is
designed to help you correct problems which are not equipment malfunctions.
Problem
Possible Cause
Solution
REF�
After your call, the repeater does
not return a status reply.
A repeater settings are incorrect.
Select the correct repeater.
Correct the repeater frequency,
frequency offset, or duplex settings.
–
Your transmission did not reach the
repeater.
Wait until you are closer to the
repeater and try again.
–
Try to access another repeater.
–
After your call, ‘UR?’ and its call
sign are displayed.
The call was successfully sent, but
no station immediately replied.
Wait for a while, and try again.
–
After your call, ‘RX’ or ‘RPT?’
and the access repeater’s call
sign are displayed.
Your own call sign (MY) has not been
set.
Set your own call sign (MY).
Your own call sign (MY) has not been
registered on a gateway repeater, or
the registered contents do not match
your transceiver’s settings.
Register your own call sign (MY) on
a gateway repeater, or confirm the
registration of the call sign.
After your call, ‘RPT?’ and the
access repeater’s call sign are
displayed.
The call sign of the destination
repeater is incorrect.
Correctly set the destination
repeater’s call sign.
–
After your call, ‘RPT?’ and the
destination repeater’s call sign
are displayed.
The repeater cannot connect to the
destination repeater.
Check the repeater settings.
–
The repeater is busy.
Wait for a while, and try it again.
–
Even when holding down
,
the DR screen is not displayed.
There is no repeater list in your
transceiver.
Import the list using a microSD card. p. 13-15
Directly enter the Repeater list data
into the transceiver.
The Lock function is activated.

for 1 second to turn
OFF the Lock function.
–
Even when you push
, the
received call sign will not be set
to the destination call sign.
The call sign has not been correctly
received.

has correctly received the call sign.
–
When a weak signal is received, or
a signal is received during scanning,
the call sign may not be received
correctly. In that case, “--------” is
displayed and error beeps sound,
and a reply call cannot be made.
A Local area call can be
made, but a Gateway call, or
destination station call, cannot
be made.
MY call sign has not been registered. Register your own call sign (MY) on
a gateway repeater, or confirm the
registration of the call sign.
The repeater set in “FROM” (Access
Repeater) has no Gateway.
Check the repeater settings.
“L” is displayed.
While receiving through the Internet,
some packets may be lost due
to a network error (or poor data
throughput performance).
Wait a while, and try it again.
When the transceiver receives
corrupted data, and misidentifies it
is as packet loss, “L” is displayed,
even if it is a Local area call.
–
“DV” and “FM” icons alternately
blink.
While in the DV mode, an FM signal
is received.
Use a different operating frequency
until there are no FM signals on the
original frequency.
