10. D-STAR OPERATION (ADVANCED) Data communication In addition to digital voice communication, you can send and receive data. Also, you can use the DV Fast Data function for data communication. To send and receive data, the optional OPC-2350LU or OPC-2218LU, and a data communication software (user supplied) are required. NOTE: DV Data TX is set to "Auto" as the default setting. When you enter text data into your communication software, the transceiver may automatically transmit it, depending on the software and the software settings. DDConnection Connect the transceiver to your PC using the optional shown below.

10. D-STAR OPERATION (ADVANCED)
Data communication
In addition to digital voice communication, you can
send and receive data. Also, you can use the DV Fast
Data function for data communication.
To send and receive data, the optional OPC-2350LU
or OPC-2218LU, and a data communication software
(user supplied) are required.
NOTE:
• Only ASCII code can be used for data
communication.
• The transceiver has also a Message Transmission
function that transmits up to 20 characters. (p.
10-14)
• Depending on the combination of your PC and
your communication software, some data may be
lost.
• While receiving voice or data through the Internet,
some packets may be lost due to network error
(poor data throughput performance). In such a
case, an “L” is displayed on the screen to indicate
that packet loss has occurred.
D
Sending data
1.
Set your own call sign, the destination call sign,
and the repeater call sign.
2.
Follow the instructions of your data
communication application software.
3.
When you enter text data into your communication
software, the transceiver may automatically
transmit it, depending on the software and the
software settings.
L
When
DV Data TX
is set to “PTT,” pushing
TRANSMIT
or [PTT] on the microphone transmits the
text data and a voice signal.
