D While operating D-STAR
PROBLEM
After your call, the repeater
does not return a status re-
ply.
After your call, the repeater
replies 'UR?' and its call
sign.
After your call, the repeater
replies 'RX' or 'RPT?' and
the access repeater's call
sign.
After your call, the repeater
replies 'RPT?' and call sign
of the destination repeater.
After your call, the access
repeater replies 'RPT?' and
its call sign.
Even holding down
the DR mode will not appear.
Even holding down , the
received call sign will not set
to the destination call sign.
A Local area call can be
made, but the Gateway call
or destination station call
cannot be made.
During transmission, "L" ap-
pears on the LCD, and the
received audio is interrupted.
"DV" and "FM" icons alter-
nately blink.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
• The repeater setting is wrong.
• Your transmission did not reach the re-
peater.
• The call was successfully sent, but no
station immediately replied.
• Your own call sign (MY) has not been
set.
• Your own call sign (MY) has not been
registered on a gateway repeater, or the
registered contents do not match your
transceiver's setting.
• The repeater cannot connect to the
destination repeater.
• The repeater is busy.
• The call sign of the destination repeater
is wrong.
• There is no repeater list in your radio.
,
• The call sign has not been correctly re-
ceived.
• 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.
• MY call sign has not been registered on
a D-STAR repeater.
• While receiving through the internet,
some packets may be lost due to net-
work error (poor data throughput per-
formance).
• While in the DV mode, an FM signal is
received.
SOLUTION
• Select the correct repeater.
• Correct the repeater frequency, fre-
quency offset, or duplex setting.
• Wait until you are closer to the repeater
and try again.
• Try to access another repeater.
• Wait for a while, and try again.
• Set your own call sign (MY).
• Register your own call sign (MY) on a
gateway repeater, or confirm the regis-
tration of the call sign.
• Check the repeater setting.
• Wait for a while, and try it again.
• Correctly set the destination repeater
call sign.
• Reload the repeater list using the CS-
51 cloning software on the CD.
• Reload the repeater list using a mi-
croSD card.
• Enter the Repeater list data directly
into the transceiver.
• Try it again, after the transceiver has
correctly received the call sign.
• Register your own call sign (MY) on a
gateway repeater, or confirm the regis-
tration of the call sign.
• Wait a while, and try it again.
When the transceiver receives cor-
rupted data, and misidentifies it is as
Packet Loss, "L" is displayed, even if it
is a Local area call.
• Use a different operating frequency un-
til there are no FM signals on the origi-
nal frequency.
