5 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. LLThe "USE (FROM)" setting (p. 5-33) is set to "NO" on the repeater list. ([MENU] > MEMORY > Repeater List) Near Repeater scan The Near Repeater scan searches for up to 20 nearby repeaters within 160 kilometers (100 miles) by using your location and the repeater's entered position data, and then lists the repeaters. LLThe Near Repeater scan continues, even if you turn OFF the transceiver, and then turn it ON again during the scan. LLIf your own position data is not being received from GPS satellites, the last received position data 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. Hold down [DR] for 1 second to display the DR screen. 2. Hold down [SCAN] for 1 second. •• The DR scan setting window is displayed. 3. Select the scan type. •• Normal: Searches for repeaters whose "USE (FROM)" setting is set to "YES." •• Near Repeater (ALL): Searches for up to 20 each of 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. LLThe scan resumes the same as other scans. (p. 12-5) The repeaters are sequentially displayed. 4. 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." 5-5
