Chelsea Yaesu DR-2X Repeater Setup
Wesley Cardone, N8QM
July 3, 2022
The repeater now knows that the B-Channel is to be used as a
control function and will have no capability to transmit on a B-
Channel frequency. It will only listen on the B-Channel.
Set the B-Channel Listening Frequency
With the home screen showing as illustrated in Figure 7, touch
[B-SETUP]
at the bottom of the screen. The repeater screen
now shows as illustrated in Figure 9.
Touch the area that is shown in Figure 9 as blurred out in this
illustration for security reasons. This will cause the repeater to
display the screen shown in Figure 10. Using the touchpad
shown, enter the frequency. Upon entry of the final figure the
repeater will enter the number and go back to the screen
shown in Figure 9.
Press the red [
BACK
] button once to return to the home
screen. It should look like that shown in Figure 7. There may be
some minor differences owing to the fact that when doing this
programming, the repeater had already been programmed.
Program Signaling
First we will check for the sub-audible tones. We are
registered with the Michigan coordination group to use 100 Hz
tones.
From the home screen touch [
A SETUP
] then [
F
] and then
[
SIGNALING
]. In the illustration shown in Figure 11, the sub-
audible tones have already been set. This is pretty much
intuitive so set them here as shown if not already so set. Press
[
BACK
] taking us to the uplink screen.
Figure 9 The screen shown represents the B-
Channel uplink frequency. The frequency itself
has been blurred out for security reasons.
Figure 10 This screen allows the uplink
frequency for the B-Channel to be set.
