D-STAR OPERATION <BASIC>

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 you transmit, no signal
is returned from the repeat-
er. (No S-meter indication)
After you transmit, the re-
peater replies 'UR?' and its
call sign.
After you transmit, the re-
peater replies 'RX' or 'RPT?'
and the access repeater's
call sign.
After you transmit, the ac-
cess repeater replies 'RPT?'
and its call sign.
After you transmit, the re-
peater replies 'RPT?' and
call sign of the destination
repeater.
Even holding down [DR], the
DR screen does not appear.
Even holding down [RX>CS],
the received call sign does
not set to the destination call
sign to make a call back.
A Local area call can be
made, but the Gateway call
or destination station call
cannot be made.
"L" appears on the LCD.
"DV" and "FM" icons alter-
nately blink.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
• The repeater setting is wrong.
• Your transmission did not reach the re-
peater.
• The call was successfully sent, but no
station immediately replied.
• Your call sign has not been correctly
set into your transceiver.
• Your call sign has not been registered
on a trust sever.
• Your call sign is not recognized at the
repeater.
• The call sign of the destination repeat-
er is wrong.
• The repeater cannot connect to the
destination repeater.
• The repeater is busy.
• There is no repeater list in your trans-
ceiver.
• The transceiver did not correctly re-
ceive the call sign data.
• When a received signal is weak, or a
signal is received during scanning, the
call sign may not be received correctly.
In that case, "--------" appears and error
beeps sound, and a reply call cannot
be made.
• Your call sign (MY) has not been regis-
tered on a D-STAR repeater.
• While receiving data through the Inter-
net, some packets may be lost due to a
network error.
• While in the DV mode, an FM signal is
received.
SOLUTION
• Select the correct repeater.
• Correct the repeater frequency, fre-
quency offset, or duplex setting.
• Wait until you are closer to the repeater
and try it again.
• Try to access another repeater.
• Wait for a while, and try it again.
• Make sure that your call sign is correctly
set into your transceiver.
• Register your call sign on a trust sever
through a D-STAR repeater, or confirm
the registration of the call sign.
• Correctly set the destination repeater
call sign.
• Check the repeater setting.
• Wait for a while, and try it again.
• Reload the repeater list using the SD
card.
• Enter the Repeater list data directly into
the transceiver.
• Try it again, after the transceiver has
correctly received the call sign.
• Register your call sign (MY) on a D-
STAR repeater, or confirm the registra-
tion of the call sign.
• Wait a while, and try it again.
When the transceiver receives cor-
rupted data, and misidentifies it is as
packet loss, "L" appears, even if it is a
Local area call.
• Wait a while, and try it again.
