What to do if Icom ID-31A repeater replies ‘RPT?’ and call sign of the called repeater after your call?
If the repeater replies ‘RPT?’ and the call sign of the called repeater after your call, the D-STAR cannot connect to the called repeater, or it’s busy. Wait for a while, and try it again.
What to do if the Icom Transceiver simplex operation cannot be made in the DR mode?
If simplex operation cannot be made in the DR mode, it might be because a call sign is programmed in the “CALL SIGN” of the Repeater list. Delete the Call sign in the “CALL SIGN” setting of the Repeater list. Another possible cause is that Duplex mode (DUP+, DUP–) is set. Select “OFF” in the “DUP” setting of the repeater list. Finally, a repeater frequency might be programmed. Program a simplex frequency instead.
What to do if Icom Transceiver repeater replies ‘RX’ or ‘RPT?’ and the call sign of its gateway repeater after your call?
If the repeater replies with ‘RX’ or ‘RPT?’ and the call sign of its gateway repeater after your call, it may be because your MY call sign has not been set. In this case, set the MY call sign. Also, your own call sign might not be registered to the D-STAR Server, or it could be incorrect. Register your own call sign to the D-STAR Server, or confirm the registration of your own call sign. Finally, your calling station call sign might not be registered to the D-STAR Server, or it could be wrong. You should ask the server’s administrator about your calling station’s call sign.
What to do if Icom ID-31A repeater does not transmit a reply after my call?
If the repeater does not transmit a reply after your call, it could be due to a wrong repeater setting. Ensure you set the correct repeater. Alternatively, the transceiver might be out of the repeater range, or your transmission isn't reaching the repeater. In this case, correct the repeater frequency, frequency offset, or duplex setting. You might also try accessing another repeater.
How to fix contacting problems with another station on Icom ID-31A?
If contacting another station is impossible on the Icom Transceiver, a different tone or code may be used for the tone/DTCS squelch. Check the tone/DTCS by performing a tone scan.
What to do if the frequency cannot be set on Icom ID-31A?
If the frequency cannot be set on your Icom Transceiver, the Key Lock function may be activated. Hold down [LOCK] for 1 second to cancel it. Alternatively, the memory mode, Call channel mode, or DR mode may be selected; push [V/MHz] to select the VFO mode.
