D-STAR OPERATION (BASIC)

10-2

Unique features of D-STAR

•

Easy Cross band operation through a repeater

•

Easy call sign entry with the Repeater list or TX/

RX History

•

The Call Sign Capture key

makes call sign

capture easy!

IMPORTANT!

Before starting D-STAR, the following steps are required�

STEP 1

Enter your call sign (MY) into the transceiver� (p� 10-4)

STEP 2

STEP 3

Enter your D-STAR equipment into your registration form� (p� 10-5)

► You have completed the steps!!

What is D-STAR?

• D-STAR is a digital protocol standard developed by the Japan Amateur Radio League (JARL)� The system

includes the DV mode for Digital Voice and the DD mode for Digital Data communications�

• D-STAR supports a comprehensive repeater system linked through the Internet, enabling you to make QSOs

with stations near or far from your location�

• D-STAR supports the DV mode at 4�8 kbps� Your call sign data, and either a short message, or GPS data can be

transmitted simultaneously with your voice signal�

Advanced Amateur radio technology of D-STAR

The DV mode has a bandwidth of only 6 kHz, compared to 16 kHz for the analog FM mode, with 5 kHz deviation�

D-STAR utilizes the well-known GMSK modulation method that makes very efficient use of occupied bandwidth.

D-STAR occupies 10 kHz� The sound quality is

good, even though the bandwidth is narrow�

The regular FM mode occupies 20 kHz that is

double the bandwidth of D-STAR�
