About the DV Gateway function

Even if you cannot access a D-STAR repeater, you can make Gateway calls with the DV Gateway function. There are two modes, the Terminal mode and the Access Point mode.

L Other stations can also directly communicate using the DV Gateway function, only if they use call sign routing. L When using the DV Gateway function, you cannot make a Local area call.

IMPORTANT:

• Before operating in the Terminal mode or the Access Point mode, BE SURE to check your local regulations or laws.

• You must have your call sign registered to the gateway server that has the RS-RP3C installed. Ask the gateway repeater administrator for details.

Terminal mode

The Terminal mode enables you to make Gateway calls through the Internet by using a Windows® or Android™ device that is running the RS-MS3W or RS-MS3A application. In the Terminal mode, the transceiver does not transmit or receive RF signals through the antenna. The communication is routed through only the Internet.
