■ D-STAR Introduction
• In the original D-STAR (Digital Smart Technologies for Ama-
teur Radio) plan, JARL envisioned a system of repeaters
grouped together into Zones.
• The D-STAR repeater enables you to call a HAM station
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 receiver.
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 ac-
cess repeater or simplex), and UR call sign in “TO” (destina-
tion), as shown to the right.
NOTE: If the repeater set in “FROM” (Access Repeater) has
no Gateway call sign, you cannot make a gateway call.
