D-STAR OPERATION <BASIC>
6-3
• In the original D-STAR (Digital Smart Technologies for
Amateur Radio) plan, JARL envisioned a system of
repeaters grouped together into Zones.
• The D-STAR repeater enables you to call a HAM sta-
tion near you, or around the world.
• You can transmit and receive digital voice, including
low-speed data, at the same time. You can transmit
and receive position data from the built-in GPS re-
ceiver.
You can easily use the D-STAR repeaters with the DR
(D-STAR Repeater) function. With this function, you
can select the preprogrammed repeater or frequency
in “FROM” (the access repeater or simplex), and UR
call sign in “TO” (destination), as shown to the right.
NOTE: If the repeater set in “FROM” (Access Re-
peater) has no Gateway call sign, you cannot make
a gateway call.
