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.

5. Press and hold the [GM] key.
• When registering in the DP-ID list is finished, “COMP”
is displayed for three seconds, then the display returns to the DP-ID list screen.
• If not registering the DP-ID, press the [GM] key.
• If registering several DP-IDs, repeat step 4 and 5.
• A maximum of 24 stations may be registered.
6. Press the PTT switch to save the setting and return to normal operation.
• Similarly, register all of the communicating transceivers’ DP-IDs to the DP-ID lists
of the other stations.
• The DP-ID setting is complete.
When using the DP-ID function in the Voice FR mode(Voice Full Rate Mode)communication
mode, turn the battery saver function OFF in the Set Mode [48 RX SAVE] (see 39).
For communicating using the DP-ID function, register the DP-ID of each other’s transceiver on
both transceivers. By registering the DP-ID, users may communicate even if the Digital group ID
(DG-ID) is a different setting.
Each transceivers may communicate
even if the Digital Group ID (DG-ID) is
a different setting because A Station
and B station register the DP-ID of
each other’ s transceiver on both
trasnceivers.
