TROUBLESHOOTING

To communicate through the repeater, your signal must access to the repeater. When your signal accesses your local repeater,
but it is not sent to the destination repeater, the repeater replies with an status message.
PROBLEM
After your call, the repeater does
not return a status reply.
After your call, the repeater re-
plies 'UR?' and its call sign.
After your call, the repeater re-
plies 'RX' or 'RPT?' and the ac-
cess repeater's call sign.
After your call, the repeater re-
plies 'RPT?' and call sign of the
destination repeater.
After your call, the access repeat-
er replies 'RPT?' and its call sign.

POSSIBLE CAUSE
• The repeater setting is wrong.
• Your transmission did not reach the repeat-
er.
• The call was successfully sent, but no station
immediately replied.
• Your own call sign (MY) has not been set.
• Your own call sign (MY) has not been reg-
istered on a gateway repeater, or the regis-
tered contents do not match your transceiv-
er's setting.
• The repeater cannot connect to the destina-
tion repeater.
• The repeater is busy.
• The call sign of the destination repeater is
wrong.
SOLUTION
• Select the correct repeater.
• Correct the repeater frequency, frequency
offset, or duplex setting.
• Wait until you are closer to the repeater and
try again.
• Try to access another repeater.
• Wait for a while, and try again.
• Set your own call sign (MY).
• Register your own call sign (MY) on a gate-
way repeater, or confirm the registration of
the call sign.
• Check the repeater setting.
• Wait for a while, and try it again.
• Correctly set the destination repeater call
sign.
