7. Set up DG-ID Number
Digital Group Identification (DG-ID) / Default ID /
DG-ID TOT (Time Out Timer)
The Digital Group Identification (DG-ID) feature controls access to the repeaters by using the two-digit numbers
from 01 to 99, and permits management of multiple repeaters (IMRS) connected via the Internet.
This feature is similar to the CTCSS function used in the Analog FM mode.
The DG-ID number 00 detects signals with all ID numbers.
The default DG-ID number is set to "00". All the C4FM digital stations' uplink signal may be operated.
• If operating this repeater using the DG-ID and connecting the multiple repeaters, select the FIX DIGITAL
mode in the operation mode screen. The DG-ID function is not available because the Analog FM mode
does not include the DG-ID information.
In order to use the DG-ID feature, update the C4FM digital transceivers to the latest firmware compatible with
the DG-ID feature.
• The latest firmware for each transceiver is available on the YAESU website.
• The DR-2X/DR-2XE will repeat on the downlink, only the uplink signals with the corresponding DG-ID
number if the DG-iD number is set to an arbitrary number from "01" to "99", (other than "00". and signals with
a different DG-ID number will not transmit on the downlink.
• If the DG-ID number is set to "00", all the C4FM digital signals are transmitted on the downlink.
z GROUP DG-ID
Using the TOT (Time Out Timer) feature of the Group DG-ID
When connecting multiple DR-2X/DR-2XE repeaters via the Internet, the DR-2X/DR-2XE repeaters may be
grouped to operate only with the repeaters of the area that wish to communicate. Therefore, the repeaters
that are not grouped do not transmit an unnecessary downlink signal. Also, the repeaters that are not grouped
together may be used by other transceivers.
In using this convenient feature, the DG-ID TOT (Time Out Timer) allows temporary intercommunication
between all the grouped repeaters by canceling the grouped state of each repeater for a certain period of
time. If the DG-ID TOT is set in advance, the grouped repeaters are connected only for the set time.
The signal from the other station may also be transmitted on the downlink signal and communicated.
While activating the TOT (Time out timer), the grouped state of the repeaters is cancelled and the repeater
may be used. To communicate by using the DG-ID, wait until the DG-ID TOT (Time Out Timer) times out.
If the repeater may not be accessed because of the TOT operation, or because it is in use, the following beep
sounds are emitted to notify.
The beep sound (1 time): The TOT is activated and accessed by DG-ID number other than the default DG-ID.
The beep sound (2 time): Notifies all repeaters downlink that the TOT has timed out.
The beep sound (3 time): Notifies the repeater may not be accessed because the other repeater is in use.
z How to use the DEFAULT ID
The default DG-ID is convenient for operating with a multiple group of repeaters. Normally, set your
transceiver DEFAULT ID to the same DG-ID number as set in the repeater. Normally, the DG-ID number
and default DG-ID number are set to the same number.
Normally, the DEFAULT ID has the same local ID number, but it can also be used as follows.
When activating the DG-ID TOT (Time Out Timer), all the other DG-ID communications group are also
locked groups. Wait until the DG-ID TOT (Time Out Timer) setting is timed out before communicating with
the other DG-ID.
Therefore, in such a case, if you always set the group DG-ID to be used in such a case to DEFAULT DG-
ID, the DG-ID TOT (Time Out Timer) does not work with DEFAULT DG-ID. You can immediately move to
another group DG-ID without waiting until the lock-up time is over.
