1 DMR CONVENTIONAL SYSTEM
1.1 Initiating Voice Communications (Basic Transmission and Reception)
Communicating via a Repeater (Repeater Mode)
Repeater Mode is the function to communicate with another transceiver via a repeater.
If the transmit frequency and receive frequency are different configurations on a DMR digital channel, the channel can be
used in Repeater Mode.
In Repeater Mode, the transceiver can synchronize with a repeater if the transceiver receives a synchronization signal from
the repeater.
If a synchronization signal from a repeater cannot be detected, the transceiver sends a Wakeup Message to prompt
synchronization. If the transceiver does not receive any response from the repeater after the lapse of a specific time interval,
the transceiver resends the Wakeup Message.
The wait time from when a Wakeup Message is sent until a repeater transmits a synchronization signal (Sync Wakeup
Wait Time) can be configured by using KPG-D1/ D1N. Also, the number of times a Wakeup Message is resent (Number
of Wakeup Message Retries) can be configured.
Note
If a response from a repeater cannot be detected after a Wakeup Message is sent for the number of times configured in
0
Number of Wakeup Message Retries, a Call Fail Tone (2 beeps) sounds from the transceiver, and "Fail" appears on
the display.
If the Talk Around function is enabled, the transceiver does not behave in Repeater Mode, as the transceiver behaves
0
in DMR Direct Mode even if the transmit frequency and receive frequency are different configurations.
If synchronization signals from the repeater cannot be detected after resending the Wakeup Message during data
0
communication, Wakeup Message will be resent for the number of times configured in Number of Wakeup Message
Retries.

About the Slot Numbers (Slot Selection)
In DMR, the transceiver communicates using the predetermined slot according to the standard.
If communicating in Repeater Mode, the transceiver needs to communicate using the predetermined slot, as the information
indicating slot 1 or slot 2 is in the synchronization signal transmitted from a repeater.
Also, for example in Repeater Mode, the signal being transmitted using slot 2 cannot be received when using slot 1, even
if the receive frequencies are the same.
The slot number used for communication (1 or 2) can be configured by using KPG-D1/ D1N.
Note
Slot Selection functions only in Repeater Mode or Dual Slot Direct Mode.
