D While operating D-STAR

PROBLEM
After you transmit, no signal
is returned from the repeat-
er. (No S-meter indication)
After you transmit, the re-
peater replies 'UR?' and its
call sign.
After you transmit, the re-
peater replies 'RX' or 'RPT?'
and the access repeater's
call sign.
After you transmit, the ac-
cess repeater replies 'RPT?'
and its call sign.
After you transmit, the re-
peater replies 'RPT?' and
call sign of the destination
repeater.
Even holding down [DR], the
DR screen does not appear.
Even holding down [RX>CS],
the received call sign does
not set to the destination call
sign to make a call back.
A Local area call can be
made, but the Gateway call
or destination station call
cannot be made.
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 call sign has not been correctly
set into your transceiver.
• Your call sign has not been registered
on a trust sever.
• Your call sign is not recognized at the
repeater.
• The call sign of the destination repeat-
er is wrong.
• The repeater cannot connect to the
destination repeater.
• The repeater is busy.
• There is no repeater list in your trans-
ceiver.
• The transceiver did not correctly re-
ceive the call sign data.
• 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.
• Your call sign (MY) has not been regis-
tered on a D-STAR repeater.
If you are unable to locate the cause of a problem,
or solve it through the use of this chart, contact your
nearest Icom Dealer or Service Center.
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 it again.
• Try to access another repeater.
• Wait for a while, and try it again.
• Make sure that your call sign is correctly
set into your transceiver.
• Register your call sign on a trust sever
through a D-STAR repeater, or confirm
the registration of the call sign.
• Correctly set the destination repeater
call sign.
• Check the repeater setting.
• Wait for a while, and try it again.
• Reload the repeater list using the SD
card.
• Enter the Repeater list data directly into
the transceiver.
• Try it again, after the transceiver has
correctly received the call sign.
• Register your call sign (MY) on a D-
STAR repeater, or confirm the registra-
tion of the call sign.
