Making a Simplex call
This section describes simplex operation
(through no repeater).
NOTE:
The frequencies may be different,
depending on the transceiver’s version. Check
for usable frequencies for your operating area.
What is a Simplex Call?
A simplex call is a direct call to another station
on a single frequency, not using a repeater.
Example:
Making a simplex call on 445.670 MHz.
Step 1: Set “FROM” (Simplex channel)
1. Hold down for 1 second to display the DR
screen.
2. Touch “FROM” to select, and then touch
“FROM” again.
3. Touch “Repeater List.”
4. Touch “Simplex.”
5. Touch the desired frequency.
(Example: 445.670 MHz)
• Return to the DR screen, and the selected
frequency is displayed in “FROM.”
• “CQCQCQ” is displayed in “TO.”
L
If a station call sign is set in “TO,” select
“Local CQ” in the “TO SELECT” screen to set
“CQCQCQ” in “TO.”

IMPORTANT!
•The repeater list, described in this manual,
may differ from your transceiver’s preloaded
contents.
•Although Japanese repeaters are used in
the setting examples, the Japanese repeater
node (port) letters are different from other
country’s.
BE SURE to add the repeater node letter in
the 8th digit of the call sign, according to the
frequency band shown below.
1200 MHz : A (B in Japan)
430 MHz : B (A in Japan)
144 MHz : C (no D-STAR repeaters in Japan)
