D-STAR OPERATION
PROBLEM
POSSIBLE CAUSE
SOLUTION
REF.
After your call, the access repeat-
er replies ‘RPT?’ and its call sign.
• The call sign of the destination repeater is
wrong.
• Correctly set the destination repeater call sign.
Even holding down
, the DR

SOFTWARE
on the CD or from a mi-
croSD backup card.
• Enter the Repeater list data directly into the
transceiver.
Section
17 of AI*
Section
9 of AI*
Even holding down
, the re-
ceived call sign will not set to the
destination call sign.
• The call sign has not been correctly received.
• When a received signal is weak, or a signal
is received during scanning, the call sign may
not be received correctly. In that case, “--------”
appears and error beeps sound, and a reply
call cannot be made.
• Try it again, after the transceiver has correctly
received the call sign.
A Local area call can be made,
but the Gateway call or destina-
tion station call cannot be made.
• MY call sign has not been registered on a D-
STAR repeater.
Register your own call sign (MY) on a gateway
repeater, or confirm the registration of the call
sign.

or displayed.
• “External GPS” is selected in the GPS Set
item on the Menu screen, but an external
GPS receiver is not connected.
• “OFF” or “Manual” is selected in the GPS Set
item on the Menu screen.

(poor data throughput performance).
• Wait a while, and try it again.
When the transceiver receives corrupted
data, and misidentifies it is as Packet Loss, “L”
is displayed, even if it is a Local area call.
“DV” and “FM” icons alternately

While in the DV mode, an FM signal is re-
ceived.
• Use a different operating frequency until there
are no FM signals on the original frequency.
