10. D-STAR OPERATION (ADVANCED) "FROM" (Access repeater) setting DDUsing the DR scan The DR scan scans frequencies to find a signal on a repeater, or on a simplex frequency. You can use 2 kinds of DR scans, Normal scan and Near Repeater scan. Normal scan To quickly find a repeater, the Normal scan skips repeaters that are not set as an access repeater. LThe "USE (FROM)" setting is set to "NO" on the repeater list. (MENU > DV Memory > Repeater List) Near Repeater scan The Near Repeater scan searches for up to 20 nearby repeaters by using your position and the repeater's entered position, and then lists the repeaters. LThe Near Repeater scan continues, even if you turn OFF the transceiver, and then turn it ON again during the scan. LIf your own position data is not being received from GPS satellites, the last received position 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. Select the operating band. (Example: 430 MHz) 2. Hold down CALL DR for 1 second to display the DR screen. 3. Touch [FROM] to select "FROM." 4. Push SCAN . ••Displays the DR scan setting window. 5. Rotate [DIAL] to select the scan type. ••Normal: Searches for repeaters whose "USE (FROM)" setting is set to "YES." ••Near Repeater (DV/FM): Searches for up to 20 nearby DV or FM repeaters. (Total 40 repeaters) ••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. LThe scan resumes the same as other scans. Blinks ←The repeaters are sequentially displayed. 6. When the transceiver receives a signal from a repeater, the scan stops. Push SCAN . ••The DR scan is canceled, and the repeater is set to "FROM." 10-3

10. D-STAR OPERATION (ADVANCED)
“FROM” (Access repeater) setting
D
Using the DR scan
The DR scan scans frequencies to find a signal on a
repeater, or on a simplex frequency.
You can use 2 kinds of DR scans, Normal scan and
Near Repeater scan.
Normal scan
To quickly find a repeater, the Normal scan skips
repeaters that are not set as an access repeater.
L
The “USE (FROM)” setting is set to “NO”
on the
repeater list.
(MENU > DV Memory >
Repeater List
)
Near Repeater scan
The Near Repeater scan searches for up to 20 nearby
repeaters by using your position and the repeater’s
entered position, 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 is used.
Example:
Selecting an active repeater using the DR
scan.
1.
Select the operating band. (Example: 430 MHz)
2. Hold down
CALL
DR
for 1 second to display the DR
screen.
3.
Touch [FROM] to select “FROM.”
4. Push
SCAN
.
• Displays the DR scan setting window.
5.
Rotate [DIAL] to select the scan type.
• Normal:
Searches for repeaters whose “USE (FROM)”
setting is set to “YES.”
• Near Repeater (DV/FM):
Searches for up to 20 nearby DV or FM
repeaters. (Total 40 repeaters)
• 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.
6.
When the transceiver receives a signal from a
repeater, the scan stops. Push
SCAN
.
• The DR scan is canceled, and the repeater is set to
“FROM.”
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.
