D Using the DR scan

The DR scan scans frequencies to find a signal on a
repeater or a simplex frequency.
You can use two 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 specified as an access repeater.
(The "USE (FROM)" setting is set to "NO" (SKIP is
set) on the repeater list.)
Near Repeater scan
The Near Repeater scan searches for up to 20 nearby
repeaters by using your location and the repeater's
entered location, and then lists the repeaters.
L The Near Repeater scan will continue, even if you
turn OFF the power, and then turn it ON again
during the scan.
L If your own position is not being received, the last
received position 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 doesn't reach the
repeater.
TIP: The DR scan scans the simplex frequencies in
the repeater list, in addition to a D-STAR repeaters.
