D-STAR OPERATION

■ Capturing a call sign

After you receive a signal, the calling station's call sign can be captured by holding down
the Call Sign Capture key ([RX→CS]) for 1 second. After releasing, you can quickly and
easily reply to the call.
What is the Call Sign Capture key?
Holding down the Call Sign Capture key for 1 second sets the last received station's call
sign as a temporary destination, and makes replying quick and easy.
Step 1: Set the received call sign to "TO" (Destination).
While receiving, hold down [RX→CS] for 1 second.
• After releasing the key, the transceiver announces the station call sign, and the call sign is
captured.
 Information
• If you want to select another call sign in the RX History, rotate [DIAL] while holding down
[RX→CS].
• You can change the setting of the [RX→CS] key on the MENU screen. If "[RX→CS] Key" is
set to "RX > CS List," the received call sign is not captured. The RX History list is displayed
instead. ([MENU] > SET > DV Set > [RX>CS] Key)
• When a received signal is weak, or during a DV scan, the call sign may not be correctly
received. In that case, you cannot capture the call sign.
• When "RX > CS SPEECH" is set to "OFF," the transceiver does not announce the call sign.
(MENU > SET > SPEECH > RX > CS SPEECH)
