Previous view 8 D-STAR OPERATION ■■Setting "FROM" (Access repeater) (Continued) DDUsing the DR scan The DR scan is useful to find a repeater. To quickly find a repeater using the DR function, the DR scan skips repeaters that are not specified as access repeaters. The ("USE (FROM)" setting is "NO" (SKIP is set) on the Repeater List.) qqHold down for 1 second. • The DR screen appears. wwHold down [SCAN] for 1 second. • The DR scan setting window appears. eePush D-pad() to select the desired scan, and then push D-pad(Ent). D-pad (Ent) () • Normal: Searches for repeaters whose "USE (FROM)" set- ting is set to "YES." • Near Repeater (ALL): S earches for up to 20 near- by DV and FM repeaters. (A total of 40 repeaters) • Near Repeater (DV): Searches for up to 20 near- by DV repeaters. • Near Repeater (FM): Searches for up to 20 near- by FM repeaters. rrThe DR scan starts. • The frequency decimal point and "FROM" blink while scanning. • The repeaters in the Repeater List are sequentially dis- played. ttWhen the transceiver receives a signal from a re- peater, the scan stops. • P ush [CLR] to cancel the DR scan. • The scan pauses when a signal is received. The scan resumes the same as other scans. (p. 16-18) TIP: You can skip certain repeaters from a scan target. You can also skip all repeaters in certain groups from a scan. See page 9-40 for details. NOTE: Even if the transceiver receives a repeater signal, the repeater may not receive the transceiver's signal. This is because the repeater's output power is higher than the transceiver's. Example: Select the "Hirano repeater using the DR scan. While scanning Blinks The repeaters are sequentially displayed. Means "JM1ZLK" is using the "Hirano" repeater. While receiving a repeater signal TIP: The DR scan scans simplex frequencies if they are entered in the Repeater List. Blinks While receiving a signal on 433.450. 8-4 Completed
