D-STAR Operating procedures
This section describes the basic D-Star procedures.
• When it is the first time to operate D-STAR, check
whether or not you can access your local area repeat-
er (Access repeater), and if your signal is successfully
sent to a destination repeater.
• If your call sign (MY) has not been set, or your call
sign has not been registered on a D-STAR repeater,
see pages 4-2 and 4-4.
