D-STAR OPERATION
"FROM" (Access repeater) setting
D Using the DR scan
The DR scan scans frequencies to find a signal on a
repeater or a simplex frequency.
You can use 2 kinds of DR scans, Normal scan and
Near Repeater scan
Normal scan
To quickly find a repeater, the Normal scan skips
repeaters that are not set as an access repeater
L The "USE (FROM)" setting (p 11-23) is set to "NO"
on the repeater list
(MENU > DV Memory > Repeater List)
Near Repeater scan
The Near Repeater scan searches for up to 20 nearby
repeaters by using your position and the repeater's
entered position, and then lists the repeaters
L The Near Repeater scan continues, even if you
turn OFF the transceiver, and then turn it ON again
during the scan
L If your own position data is not being received, the
last received position is used
NOTE: Even if your transceiver receives a repeater
signal, the repeater may not receive your signal,
because the repeater's output power is higher than
your transceiver's, and your signal does not reach
the repeater
TIP: The DR scan scans the simplex frequencies in
the repeater list, in addition to D-STAR repeaters
Example: Selecting an active repeater using the DR
scan
1 Hold down [DR] for 1 second to display the DR
