2. A transmission in the digital C4FM mode from another
transceiver will register the DP-ID.
When a signal from the other station is received, the
call sign and "Registration" are displayed on the LCD.
• When a signal from another registered transceiver is
received, nothing is displayed on the LCD.
• When a transceiver is previously registered with a
different call sign, the DP-ID listing is changed to the
newly registered call sign.
3. Press the FUNC knob to save the setting.
• When registering the DP-ID is complete, the display returns to the DP-ID list screen.
• If not registering a DP-ID, rotate the FUNC knob to select "CANCEL" then press
the FUNC knob.
• If registering several DP-IDs, repeat step 2 and 3.
• A maximum of 24 stations may be registered.
4. Press the DIAL knob, SUB DIAL knob or PTT switch to finish the setting and return
to the original screen.
• All the other communicating stations should similarly register the DP-IDs to the DP-
ID lists of their transceivers.
• The DP-ID setting is complete.
To communicate using the DP-ID function, register the DP-ID of each other's transceiver on
both transceivers. By registering the DP-ID, users may communicate even if the Digital group
ID (DG-ID) is a different setting.

Station B DP-ID "bbbbb"
DP-ID: aaaaa
DG-ID: TX01 RX01
Station A and station C do not register
each other's transceiver DP-ID on
their transceivers. However, they may
communicate because the same
DG-ID is set on both transceivers.
The transceivers may communicate
even if the Digital Group ID (DG-ID) is
a different setting because Station A
and station B have registered each
other's DP-IDs on both transceivers.
A
C
DP-ID: ccccc
DG-ID: TX01 RX01
B
DP-ID: bbbbb
DG-ID: TX02 RX02
Station B may not receive station C
because station B has not registered the
DP-ID of station C.
However, station C may receive station
B because station C has registered the
DP-ID of station B.
