Cannot hear the local DMR-
repeater
For each TalkGroup that you do want to
operate, you will need a separate channel. Each
digital channel should have a reference to a
specific Contact (TalkGroup) and to a so-called
RX-group that also does have the channels
TalkGroup as a member. Ham operators often
do place all TalkGroups that are assigned to
TimeSlot 1 within one TalkGroup and all
TalkGroups that are assigned to TimeSlot 2
within another RX-group. If there is no RX-
group assigned to a channel, you will only be
able to receive direct calls to your own DMR ID
and calls to the TalkGroup assigned to the
current channel.
Whenever I try to TX on a
digital channel I get a ‘BS
failed’ message on the radio
screen
'BS Failed' stands for 'Base Station failed' and
can have various reasons:
• Wrong TX frequency
• Wrong RX frequency
• Wrong Color Code
• No Contact (and its Call Type) defined for the
active channel
• Addressed TimeSlot currently occupied by
another caller
• DMR repeater out of coverage
• The radio had incorrectly programmed an
analog repeater for digital mode
I cannot enter the radio
menu by using the channel
knob
Make sure that you have not activated the
keypad lock. To unlock, long press the [ENC]
button.
When operating in analog
mode and releasing the
[PTT] there is a delay of
about 30 seconds before I
can hear someone else.
Check if your currently selected channel is also
a member of a Scan List and you have activated
automatic scanning. The described behavior
does happen, whenever you have scanning
activated and there is no more signal detected
on the currently selected channel and thus
starting the scanning process again. Depending
on the number of channels that are member of
the scan-list it may take some seconds until the
channel in question will be checked again.
Scanning an analog channel takes significantly
longer, than scanning a digital channel.
In analog mode I am
missing a lot of DCS tones
The radio does support all 83 codes as
standardized by the Telecommunications
Industry Association plus additional 20 DCS
codes. If it is not within those codes as listed in
chapter 13.28 CTCSS sub audio and DCS
signaling on page 190 it is not supported.
