D
Using the DR scan
The DR scan scans frequencies to find a signal from a
repeater, or on a simplex frequency
You can use 2 kinds of DR scans, Normal scan and
Near Repeater scan
Normal scan
The Normal scan searches repeaters whose “USE
(FROM)” setting is set to “YES”
L
You can change the “USE (FROM)” setting on the
repeater list
» DV/DD MEMORY >
Repeater List
Near Repeater scan
The Near Repeater scan searches for up to 20
nearby repeaters by using your position data and the
repeater’s entered position data, and then lists the
repeaters
L
The Near Repeater scan continues, even if you turn OFF
the transceiver, and then turn it ON again during the scan
L
If your own position data is not being received from GPS
satellites, the last received position data is used
NOTE:
Even if your transceiver receives a repeater
signal, the repeater may not receive your signal,
because the repeater’s output power is higher than
your transceiver’s, and your signal does not reach
the repeater
TIP:
The DR scan scans the simplex frequencies in
the repeater list, in addition to D-STAR repeaters
Example:
Selecting an active repeater using the DR
scan
1 Hold down for 1 second to display the DR
screen
2 Touch “FROM” to select
3 Push
• Displays the SCAN SELECT screen
4 Touch the scan type
• Normal:
Searches for repeaters whose “USE (FROM)” setting
is set to “YES”
• Near Repeater (DV/FM):
Searches for up to 20 each of nearby DV or FM
repeaters (A total of 40 repeaters can be displayed)
• Near Repeater (DV):
Searches for up to 20 nearby DV repeaters
• Near Repeater (FM):
Searches for up to 20 nearby FM repeaters
• The selected scan starts
• In the DR scan, the repeaters are sequentially
displayed by distance, in descending order
L
The scan resumes the same as other scans
Blinks
The repeaters are
sequentially displayed
5 When the transceiver receives a signal from a
repeater, the scan stops Push
• The DR scan is canceled, and the repeater is set in
“FROM”
