Troubleshooting - Icom ID-51A Basic Instructions

■ Troubleshooting

To communicate through the repeater, your signal must access to the repeater. When your signal accesses your local repeater,
but it is not sent to the destination repeater, the repeater replies with an status message.
PROBLEM
After your call, the repeater does
not return a status reply.
After your call, the repeater re-
plies 'UR?' and its call sign.
After your call, the repeater replies
'RX' or 'RPT?' and the access re-
peater's call sign.
After your call, the repeater re-
plies 'RPT?' and call sign of the
destination repeater.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
• The repeater setting is wrong.
• Your transmission did not reach the repeater.
• The call was successfully sent, but no station
immediately replied.
• Your own call sign (MY) has not been set.
• Your own call sign (MY) has not been regis-
tered on a gateway repeater, or the registered
contents do not match your transceiver's set-
ting.
• The repeater cannot connect to the destina-
tion repeater.
• The repeater is busy.
D-STAR OPERATION
SOLUTION
• Select the correct repeater.
• Correct the repeater frequency, frequency off-
set, or duplex settings.
• Wait until you are closer to the repeater and
try again.
• Try to access another repeater.
• Wait for a while, and try again.
• Set your own call sign (MY).
• Register your own call sign (MY) on a gateway
repeater, or confirm the registration of the call
sign.
• Check the repeater setting.
• Wait for a while, and try it again.
