14. D-STAR OPERATION (ADVANCED)

Are your settings correct?

If you make a Local Area call with a gateway repeater still selected in "TO," the destination repeater will
be busy while you transmit. The stations that want to use the repeater as their Access repeater cannot
access it, as shown below.
BE SURE to set CQCQCQ in "TO" on the DR screen when you intend to make a Local Area call, or after
you finish a Gateway call.
Example: JA3YUA wants to make a Local Area call.
CQ D-STAR Hirano, this is JA3YUA CQ D-STAR Hirano, this is JA3YUA
through JP3YHH port A for a local call... through JP3YHH port A for a local call...
JA3YUA's setting

Correct setting
To make a Local Area call, set the destination ("TO")
to "CQCQCQ." See page 14-7 for details.

NOTE: With this setting, you can make a Local
