On the TH-D74A/E, when transmission by the calling station is complete and while the 
reception interrupt screen appears, the transmission configuration for the receiving station 
automatically changes to 

"Individual"

, and the receiving station can make a call back to the 

calling station simply by pressing 

[PTT]

. 

When direct reply is possible during reception, a 

"Direct Reply"

 icon will appear in the 

interrupt screen.  When this icon is displayed, pressing 

[PTT]

 enables automatic 

transmission in the callback configuration. 

 

"Direct Reply"

 icon 

 

 

 

When both APRS and D-STAR are running concurrently, the Direct Reply feature functions 
when the D-STAR is the operating band.  When the details of the APRS Station List are 
displayed, the Callsign of the receiving D-STAR station is displayed in one line (top most 
line) above the interrupt area.  When the Direct Reply feature is running, a 

"*"

 symbol is 

displayed beside the Callsign.
