Digital Personal ID (DP-ID) feature
About the Digital Personal ID (DP-ID) feature
When operating in digital C4FM communications, each transceiver is programmed with,
and sends its own individual ID information (Radio ID) in each transmission. The DP-ID
function and the individual identification information, makes possible group communications of stations that are within communications range.
Digital Personal ID (DP-ID) feature opens the speaker audio only when a signal set to
the same DP-ID in the Digital Mode is received, even if each transceiver is set a different Digital Group ID (DG-ID) number.
The digital C4FM repeater equipped with the DP-ID function allows preferentially contact
in an emergency, regardless of the repeater setting or if the repeater is being used without the DG-ID setting.
zDigital C4FM mode transceivers compatible with the DG-ID function are required in order to
utilize this function.
zIf the firmware is not compatible with the DG-ID function, update to the latest firmware to use
the DG-ID function. The latest firmware is available on the YAESU website. The latest firmware
is available on the YAESU website. The latest firmware is available on the YAESU website.
Registering the DP-ID of the other station
When setting the DG-ID code to “00”, the transceiver will receive signals from all digital C4FM
stations. To utilize the DP-ID function, it is necessary to set the receive DG-ID code to a number
other than “00”.
1. Press and hold the [F] key, to enter the Set Mode.
2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select [17 DP-ID].
3. Press the [F] key.
• The DP-ID list is displayed.
• If a number of DP-IDs are registered, rotate the DIAL
knob to display the desired DP-ID.
4. A transmission in the digital C4FM mode from the other
transceiver will register the DP-ID.
When a signal from the other station is received, the callsign and “REG” are displayed on the LCD.
zWhen a signal from another registered transceiver is received, nothing is display on the
LCD.
zWhen registering a transceiver already registered with a different call sign, the call sign
registered in the DP-ID list is changed to the new registered call sign.

Functions to Use as Necessary
Using the Transceiver for Packet Communication
You can perform packet communication with your transceiver by connecting a TNC (Terminal Node Controller) using an optional Microphone Adapter (CT-44).
MIC/SP
TNC
CT-44
EAR
MIC
10 F
2 kΩ
After connecting the TNC to the transceiver, set the output signal level to the TNC by
adjusting the sound volume level of your transceiver.
Also, adjust the signal level input to your transceiver using the output level adjustment
volume on the TNC (Input level cannot be adjusted on your transceiver).
When sending a vast volume of data, the transmission takes a longer time and the transceiver
may be overheated.
If the transmission is continued for a long time, the overheat prevention circuit will operate and
the transmission power decreases. If the transmission is continued further, the transmission
will be automatically stopped to prevent the transceiver from overheating and consequently
malfunctioning.
If the overheat prevention circuit has operated and then the transceiver returns to the receive
mode, turn the transceiver off, or leave it in the receive mode until the temperature falls.
zSet the receive battery Save Function to “OFF” during packet communication by selecting [48
RX SAVE] (
zReception can be interfered with by noise generated from your PC.
If the transceiver enters an abnormal receive state, disconnect the transceiver from the PC,
and reconnect it to the PC using a photo coupler device or noise filter.

2. Remove the rubber cap from the MIC/SP jack of the each transceivers, then connect
the optional clone cable (CT-27).
3. While pressing and holding the [F] key, turn the each transceivers ON.
The “CLONE” is displayed on the LCD, then the transceiver enters the clone mode.
4. Press the [MODE] key on the receiving side transceiver.
The “--WAIT--” is displayed on the receiving transceiver
5. Press the [BAND] key on the transmitting transceiver.
• The “--TX--” is displayed on the transmitting transceiver and then data copy starts.
• The display on the receiving transceiver changes from “--WAIT--” to “--RX--”.
• When data transmission begins, the transmission data amount bar graph appears
on the LCD.
6. When copying is completed, the receiving side transceiver returns to the normal
mode. On the transmission side transceiver, the indication on the LCD returns from
“--TX--” to “CLONE”.
7. Turn off the power of both transceivers, then disconnect the clone cable.
When the “ERROR” appears on the LCD during data transfer, copying cannot be completed.
Check the clone cable connection, and redo the operation from the beginning.

If you suspect malfunction
Check the following items before requesting a repair.
● The transceiver does not turn on.
•Is the battery depleted?
•Charge the battery pack after purchase, and when the transceiver has not been used for a long time.
•The battery pack properly attached?
Refer to “Installing the Battery Pack” on the Operating Manual and securely install the battery pack.
•Is the external power supply properly connected?
When using an external power supply, connect the external power supply adapter with a cigarette
lighter plug (SDD-13) or an external power cable (E-DC-6) to DC input jack.
•Is the voltage of the battery pack or the external power supply correct?
Be sure that there is a charge left in the battery pack (do not completely discharge). Check that the
output voltage of the SDD-13 or the E-DC-6 is approximately 12V.
● There is no sound.
•Is the level of squelch (or S meter squelch) set too high?
Press the MONI/T-CALL switch and verify that you can hear white noise.
Adjust the level of squelch (or S meter squelch) when receiving a weak signal.
•Is the volume low?
While pressing the VOL key, rotate the DIAL knob clockwise to increase the volume.
•Is the tone squelch or DCS on?
When the tone squelch or DCS is on, the sound is not output until the transceiver receives a signal
containing the same tone frequency or DCS code set.
•Is the C4FM digital mode on?
When the AMS function is on, the sound is not output until the transceiver receives a signal
containing the Analog FM mode.
Also, when the DG-ID function is on and set the DG-ID number to except for “00”, the sound is not
output until the transceiver receives a signal correspond to the two-digit DG-ID.
● There is no transmission of radio waves.
•Are you pressing the PTT switch properly?
•Is the PTT lock on?
•Is the Busy TX Block (BCLO function) on?
When the Busy TX Block (BCLO function) is on, transmission cannot be done when receiving a signal
even if the PTT is pressed. Wait until signal being received stops and then press the PTT switch.
•Is the transmission frequency on a ham radio band?
Transmission cannot be performed on the AM Radio Broadcast Band/ Short Wave Radio Band/ FM
Radio Broadcast Band/ Air Band/ Information Radio Band.
•Is the voltage of the battery pack or external power source correct?
Check the remaining charge on the battery pack.
In addition, using an inadequate power supply where voltage drops during transmission will prevent
the FT-70DR/DE from operating at full capability.
● The keys or DIAL does not respond.
•Is the Key Lock or DIAL Lock on?
● The battery pack cannot be charged or battery power depletes immediately after
charging.
•Is the battery pack being charged with a charger specified by Yaesu?
Charge the battery pack using the accessory battery charger (SAD-18B) or the rapid charge cradle
(SBH-28). When using an external power supply, use the external power supply adapter with a
cigarette lighter plug (SDD-13) or an external power cable (E-DC-6).
•Is the battery pack in use exhausted?
If “CHGERR” appears on the LCD during the charging and the battery pack is not charged after a
lapse of 10 or more hours, stop charging the battery pack immediately. The battery pack is presumed
to be at the end of its service life, or defective. In this case, replace the battery pack with a new one.
•Charge the battery pack within the temperature range from +5 °C to +35 °C (+41 °F to +95 °F).
