Even if you cannot access a D-STAR repeater, you can make Gateway calls with the DV Gateway function.
The function has two modes, the Terminal mode and the Access Point mode.
L Other stations can also directly communicate using the DV Gateway function, only if they use call sign routing.
L When using the DV Gateway function, you cannot make a direct Local Area call.
D-STAR (Digital Smart Technology for Amateur Radio) is a digital radio protocol developed by JARL (Japan
Amateur Radio League).
In this document, the following transceivers are described.
ID-31A PLUS/ID-31E PLUS/ID-51A (PLUS2)/ID-51E (PLUS2)/ID-52A/ID-52E/ID-50A/ID-50E/
ID-52A PLUS/ID-52E PLUS
L See page 2 for the combination of the transceiver and data cable.
L The ID-52A/ID-52E is used as an example.
L The ID-52A PLUS/ID-52E PLUS can simultaneously receive the Normal mode and the Terminal mode in the Dualwatch function.
IMPORTANT:
• Before operating in the Terminal mode or the Access Point mode, BE SURE to check your local regulations or laws.
• Register your call sign (MY) at a gateway server.*
• Register the Terminal/AP call sign that is set in the RS-MS3A or RS-MS3W to the RS-RP3C
as the access point.*
* Ask the gateway repeater administrator for details.
Terminal mode
The Terminal mode enables you to make Gateway calls through the Internet by using a Windows or Android
device that is running the RS-MS3W or RS-MS3A application.
In the Terminal mode, the transceiver does not transmit or receive RF signals through the antenna. The
communication is routed through only the Internet.
Transceiver
Access Point mode
The Access Point mode enables you to use another D-STAR transceiver and remotely*
through an Access point transceiver when connected to a Windows or Android device that is running the
RS-MS3W or RS-MS3A application.

*1 Within the transmit and receive range of the Access point transceiver. The range will vary, depending on the operating
environment.
*2 Any model as long as the transceiver is D-STAR capable. Only one D-STAR transceiver can access the Access Point at the
same time.
NOTE: When using the DV Gateway function
• When operating in the Access Point mode, you need two call signs. One for the Access Point transceiver and one for the
Remote D-STAR transceiver. (p. 6)
• You need an Internet connection with an IPv4 Global IP address. If you use a cellular system, you need an IPv4 Global IP
address assigned to your Windows or Android device.
