Adjusting The Squelch Level; Setting The Dg-Id Number; Setting The Remote Control - Yaesu DR-2X Setup

Chelsea Yaesu DR-2X Repeater Setup

Adjusting the Squelch Level

From the home screen touch [A SETUP] but NOT F. Instead
of pressing F, press the [SQL] button which is a grey tone
taking you to the screen illustrated in Figure 17. From this
screen press [SQL] showing at the bottom of the screen.
Setting the squelch is somewhat intuitive at this point.

Setting the DG-ID Number

The DG-ID number is only used for having groups that have
exclusive use of the repeater. We can ignore this part of
the repeater programming. For reference, the repeater DG-ID number will be set to 00 which opens it
up for all amateurs to use.
However, we do want to register individual transceivers that will then be capable of programming the
repeater remotely over the air. This is a specialized task that is too complicated to take up space here
presenting. But it's not hard to do.

Setting the Remote Control

Remote control of the DR-2X repeater is only possible
with one of six Yaesu transceivers (as of October 2020).
1. FTM-100D
2. FTM-400XD/D
3. FTM-300D
4. FTM-7250D
5. FTM-3207D
6. FTM-3200D
Remote control is possible via analog FM but this is less
secure. Therefore, we will only establish remote control via C4FM. Also, remote control by analog
requires the optional FVS-2 card which the repeater
DOES NOT HAVE.
Remote control also requires the optional LAN-01A card
installed in the repeater which has been done.
First, we will tell the repeater that remote control via a
digital mode (C4FM) is enabled. Press [A SETUP] and
then [F] and then [MODE/REMOTE]. This display as
illustrated in Figure 18 is shown. If in your case the
