SCAN OPERATION

Scan

Scanning is a versatile function that can automatically search for signals. A scan makes it easier to locate stations to contact or listen to, or to skip unwanted channels or frequencies.

DAbout the scan function

In the VFO mode

The frequencies that are set as “PSKIP” are skipped during a scan. (p. 2-5, 9-18)

In the Memory mode

Repeatedly scans all entered Memory channels. The frequencies that are set as skip channels “PSKIP” and “SKIP” are not scanned. (p. 2-8)

L Two or more Memory channels must be entered to start a

memory scan.

DVFO scan

ALL (Full scan)

Repeatedly scans the entire band.

BAND (Selected band memory scan) Scans all Memory channels on the same frequency band as the selected channel.

MODE (Mode memory scan) Scans Memory channels which are entered with the same receiving mode as the currently selected mode.

DMemory bank scan

ALL (Full bank scan)

Scans all banks.

BANK-LINK (Bank link scan) Sequentially scans the banks which are set to link on the MENU screen. (p. 9-18) (Scan > Bank Link)

BANK-A–Z (Bank scan) Scans the Memory channels in the selected bank.

Duplex (DUP) scan

The Duplex scan searches for both TX and RX frequencies which are used in duplex operation. (p. 8-4)

L “D–” or “D+” is displayed in the Duplex mode. L A Duplex scan does not start when the frequency

offset is set to “0.000 MHz.”

Tone scan

The Tone scan searches for tone frequencies or DTCS codes that are used by stations using the Tone Squelch function.

L A Tone scan is usable in any VFO, Memory, or

Call channel mode.

L During a scan, rotate [DIAL] to change the scan

direction. See “Tone Squelch function” or “DTCS code Squelch function” for details. (pp. 10-11, 10-12)

You can change the squelch level to suit your operating needs. Set the squelch level to open the squelch, according to the received signal strength. During a scan, rotate [SQL] to adjust the squelch level.

DTuning step for a VFO scan

The selected tuning step is applied to the scan. For a Program scan or Program Link scan, set the tuning step in the Program Scan Edge ranges. (p. 2-9)

DSkip function

The skip function speeds up scanning by not scanning those frequencies set as skip channels. (pp. 2-5, 2-8)

TIP: When “Program Skip” is set to OFF, you cannot use the Scan Skip function. (p. 9-18) (Scan > Program skip)

DWhen a signal is received

When a signal is received, the scan pauses for approximately 10 seconds (default), then resumes. The scan resumes approximately 2 seconds (default) after the signal disappears. To manually resume the scan, rotate [DIAL].

L These settings can be changed on the MENU

screen. (p. 9-18) (Scan > Pause Timer) (Scan > Resume Timer)

DUsing the DR scan

The DR scan scans frequencies to nd a signal on a

repeater or a simplex frequency. You can use two kinds of DR scans, Normal scan and Near Repeater scan.

Normal scan

To quickly nd a repeater, the Normal scan skips repeaters that are not specied as an access repeater.

(The “USE (FROM)” setting is set to “NO” (SKIP is set) on the repeater list.)

Near Repeater scan

The Near Repeater scan searches for up to 20 nearby repeaters by using your location and the repeater’s entered location, and then lists the repeaters.

L The Near Repeater scan will continue, even if you

turn OFF the power, and then turn it ON again during the scan.

L If your own position is not being received, the last

received position is used.

NOTE: Even if your transceiver receives a repeater signal, the repeater may not receive your signal, because the repeater’s output power is higher than your transceiver’s, and your signal doesn't reach the repeater.

D-STAR OPERATION

Connecting to a Reector

DWhat is the reector?

A reector is a special server connected to the

Internet and running a version of dplus software. If the dplus software is installed on your access repeater, it provides various functions including gateway

and reector linking capabilities (It is known as the D-STAR reector system). The D-STAR reector

system enables a number of D-STAR repeaters

anywhere to link to a reector. This means that when

you transmit through a D-STAR repeater linked to a

reector, your voice can be heard on other repeaters linked to the reector, and you can hear other stations that are connected to the reector.

D-STAR OPERATION

Your setting is correct?

If you make a local area call with a gateway setting still selected in “TO,” the destination repeater will be busy while you transmit. So the stations that use that repeater as their Access repeater cannot access it, as shown below. BE SURE to set CQCQCQ in “TO” when you intend to

make a local call, or after you nish a Gateway call.

Example: JM1ZLK wants to make a Local area call.

JM1ZLK listening

on JP1YIU port A

for a local call...

Caller (JM1ZLK)

JM1ZLK’s setting

The destination (“TO”) setting is incorrect.

Hamacho repeater

JM1ZLK listening

on JP1YIU port A

for a local call...

Hamacho area

Hirano repeater

His setting is incorrect!

I cannot access the

repeater!

JM1ZLK listening

on JP1YIU port A

for a local call...

Called

Hirano area

NOTE: With this setting, the Local area call can be made, but the destination repeater, selected in “TO,” is also busy while you transmit. So the station that uses the destination repeater as their Access repeater cannot access it.

Correct setting

To make a Local area call, set the destination (“TO”) to “CQCQCQ.” See page 4-9 for details.

GPS OPERATION

GPS operation

NOTE: The built-in GPS receiver cannot calculate

its position data if it cannot receive signals from the GPS satellites.

The transceiver has a built-in internal GPS receiver. The GPS receiver’s position data can be received in any mode. Also, a NMEA format compatible external GPS receiver can be connected to the transceiver through the [DATA] jack. To receive signals from an external GPS source, connect an external NMEA format compatible receiver to the transceiver according to the instructions, shown to the right. Position data can be transmitted in only the DV mode.

DConrming the GPS signal receiving

GPS OPERATION

Transmitting D-PRS data

When D-PRS is selected as GPS TX mode, you can transmit D-PRS data. When operating in the D-PRS mode, the following codes are transmitted to the PC. D-PRS code is based on APRS® code. (APRS®: Automatic Packet Reporting System).

DD-PRS

D-PRS is a mode that simultaneously sends position data received from the internal or external GPS receiver, using the slow speed data packet space, along with voice in the DV mode. In an analog mode, you can transmit or receive only voice or data at one time. However a D-PRS capable radio can transmit or receive message data or GPS position data at the same time voice is being transmitted or received. I-GATE is required to send position data to the APRS server.
