D-STAR INTRODUCTION
Communication Form in the DR mode
In the DR mode, the transceiver has three communica-
tion forms, as shown below.
• Local area call: To call through your local area (ac-
cess) repeater.
• Gateway call: To call through your local area (ac-
cess) repeater, repeater gateway and
the internet to your destination re-
peater or individual station's last used
repeater, using call sign routing.
• Simplex call: To call another station not using a re-
peater.

NOTE:
• Programming the repeater list is required for DR mode operation. (FM sec. 9)
• Before operating in the DV mode, be sure to check whether the access repeater is busy, or not. If the repeater is
busy, wait until it is clear, or ask for a "break" using a method acceptable to your local procedures.
• The transceiver has a Time-Out Timer function for digital repeater operation. The timer limits a continuous trans-
mission to approximately 10 minutes. Warning beeps will sound approximately 30 seconds before time-out and
then again immediately before time-out.
