Repeater Operation; Communicating Via The Repeater; Tone Calling ( 1750 Hz Burst Tone ) - Yaesu FT-70DR Operating Manual

Communicating Via the Repeater

The transceiver includes an ARS ( Automatic Repeater Shift ) function which sets the re-
peater operation automatically when the receiver is tuned to the repeater frequency.
1. Set the downlink ( output ) frequency from the re-
peater.
2. " ", " "or " " lcons may automatically appear
above the frequency.
3. Speak into the microphone while pressing and
holding the PTT switch.
● The reverse state
The "reverse" state temporarily reverses the transmit and receive frequencies. This
allows checking to find if direct communication with the other station is possible.
1. When the ARS in ON, press the [ HM/RV ] key.
• The transmit and receive frequencies are tem-
porarily reversed ( "reverse" state ) .
• In the "reverse" state, the " " or " " blinks on
the LCD.
2. Press the [ HM/RV ] key to exit from the "reverse" state.
z The repeater settings may be changed from the Set Mode.
Set Mode [ 46 RPT.FRQ ] : Allows changing the repeater shift offset.
[ F ] key → [ 0 ] ( RPT ) key: Allows setting the repeater shift direction.
[ F ] key → [ 6 ] ( CODE ) key: Allows setting the tone encoder frequency.
z The ARS function may be set to OFF in the Set Mode [ 45 RPT.ARS ] .
The Yaesu DR-2X/XE repeater incorporates the DG-ID feature, which may limit
access to the repeater by using a two-digit 01 to 99 ID number. Multiple DR-2X/XE
repeaters, connected via the Internet may also be managed using the DG-ID num-
bers. To access a specified DR-2X/XE repeater, or DR-2X/XE repeater group, that
requires a DG-ID, the FT-70DR/DE transmit DG-ID must be set/programmed ac-
cordingly. Also, when communicating via a DR-2X/XE repeater, set the receive DG-
ID number to "00".

Tone Calling ( 1750 Hz burst tone )

If your transceiver is FT-70DE ( European version ) , press and hold in the MONI/T-CALL
switch to generates the 1750 Hz burst tone to access the European repeater.
The transmitter will automatically be activated, and the 1750 Hz audio tone will be su-
perimposed on the carrier. Once the repeater has been accessed, release the MONI/
T-CALL switch, and use the PTT switch to activate the transmitter thereafter.
If needed, the FT-70DR ( USA/Asian version ) , may be set to access repeaters which re-
quire a 1750 Hz burst tone by setting the MONI/T-CALL switch to serve as a "Tone Call"
switch instead. To change the configuration of the MONI/T-CALL switch, use Set Mode
[ 32 M/T-CL ] ( 37 ) .
