    11. Remote Controls Setting the remote control • Remote control of the DR-2X/DR-2XE repeater can be performed in either C4FM digital mode or analog FM mode. For C4FM digital mode, use the FTM-100D, FTM-400D, FTM-400XD or FTM-3200D transceiver. For security reasons, we recommend using a mobile C4FM transceiver with the DP-ID that is registered to the DR-2X/DR-2XE repeater.
