Using the convenient Digital C4FM feature

About the Digital Group ID (DG-ID) feature

1. Digital Group ID (DG-ID) function allows communications with only the specific group members using the two-digit ID numbers. The desired DG-ID number from 00 to 99 is set in advance by all the group members. This ID number may be set separately for transmit and receive, when the same ID number is set for both transmit and receive, only group members with the same ID number will be heard. This feature may be used to communicate only with group members that have the same DG-ID number. The GM function may also be utilized to automatically monitor whether or not group member stations with the same DG-ID number are operating within communication range.
The DG-ID number 00 detects signals with all ID numbers. Normally setting the ID number to “00” for both transmit and receive will permit reception of the signals from all other stations using the digital C4FM mode, regardless of the transmit DG-ID number settings of the other stations.
Also note that when the receive DG-ID number of your transceiver is set to a DG-ID number other than “00”, received signals that do not have the same DG-ID number may not be heard.
2. When accessing the C4FM digital repeater controlled by the DG-ID number, set the transmit DG-ID number of the FT-70DR/DE to that of the repeater input. Even in that case, if the receive DG-ID number of the FT-70DR/DE is set to “00”, all the downlink signals from the repeater may be received.

Communicating with the DG-ID feature

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 the latest firmware to use the
DG-ID function. The latest firmware is available on the YAESU website.

Setting the transmit and receive DG-ID number to “00” for communicating with all other stations using C4FM digital mode

If your transceiver is FT-70DE (European version), press and hold in the MONI/T-CALL switch to generates the 1750 Hz burst tone to access the European repeater. The transmitter will automatically be activated, and the 1750 Hz audio tone will be su­perimposed on the carrier. Once the repeater has been accessed, release the MONI/ T-CALL switch, and use the PTT switch to activate the transmitter thereafter. If needed, the FT-70DR (USA/Asian version), may be set to access repeaters which re­quire a 1750 Hz burst tone by setting the MONI/T-CALL switch to serve as a “Tone Call” switch instead. To change the configuration of the MONI/T-CALL switch, use Set Mode [
