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 between stations that are within communications range. The 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 to a different Digital Group ID
(DG-ID) number.
To utilize this function, Digital C4FM mode transceivers compatible with the DG-ID function
are required.
Registering the DP-ID to a DR-2X digital repeater
After registering the transceiver’s DP-ID to the DR-2X repeater, the settings and functions
of the DR-2X can be remotely controlled. Remote control cannot be performed from a
transceiver that has not been registered with the DP-ID, so it is possible to securely manage repeaters. The transceiver with DP-ID registered in DR-2X is allowed preferential
access in an emergency, even when used without the DG-ID setting.
To register the transceiver DP-ID in the DR-2X C4FM digital repeater, refer to the DR-2X
instruction manual.
DR-2X Remote Control Feature
To display the FTM-200D remote-control screen while in C4FM digital mode, press and
hold the [] key on the microphone. To return to normal mode, press the [] key on the
microphone. For details on the remote-control function of the DR-2X, refer to the DR-2X
instruction manual.
• Activate the repeater operation
• Deactivate the repeater operation
• Set the repeater to C4FM mode
• Set the transmit power
• Voice Message Control (Rec / Play / Stop)
• Set the Emergency Call
Registering the DP-ID of other stations
• Once registered, the DP-ID is stored until deleted.
• Register each other's DP-ID with nearby transceivers.
• 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 MENU] key [57 DP-ID LIST] Press the DIAL knob
• The DP-ID list is displayed.
• If several DP-IDs are displayed, rotate the DIAL
knob to register the desired DP-ID.

• When a transceiver is previously registered with a
different call sign, the DP-ID listing is changed to the
newly registered call sign.
3. Press the DIAL knob to save the setting.
• When registering the DP-ID is complete, the display returns to the DP-ID list screen.
• If not registering a DP-ID, rotate the DIAL knob to select “CANCEL” then press the
DIAL knob.
• If registering several DP-IDs, repeat step 2 and 3.
• A maximum of 24 stations may be registered.
4. Press any key (except Power Switch) or PTT switch to finish the setting and return
to the original screen.
• All the other communicating stations should similarly register the DP-IDs to the DP-
ID lists of their transceivers.
• The DP-ID setting is complete.
To communicate 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.
even if the Digital Group ID (DG-ID) is
a different setting because Station A
and station B have registered each
other's DP-IDs on both transceivers.

Programmable Memory Channel Scan (PMS)
Registering to the Programmable Memory Channels
50 sets of PMS memory channels (L01/U01 to L50/U50) are available.
• Register the lower and upper frequencies of the frequency range in a pair of Pro-
grammable Memory Channels.
L nn: Lower limit memory channel
U nn: Upper limit memory channel
• PMS memory channels are displayed between channel 999 and channel 001. On
the Memory Channel List screen, press the [A] key on the microphone to jump the
“L01” PMS Memory Channel.
• For more details on registering frequencies to the memory channels, see “Writing to
Memory” in the Operating Manual.
• Make sure to use the corresponding numbers for the lower and upper limit memory channels.
• Set the Programmable Memory scanning (PMS) lower and upper limits as follows:
• The scan width between the lower and upper limit frequencies must be 100 kHz or more.
• The lower and upper limit memory channels must be within the same frequency band.
• The lower and upper limit memory channels must not be registered in reverse.
Performing Programmable Memory Channel Scan
The programmable memory channel scan allows scanning a specified frequency range
within the same frequency band.
1. Press the [V/M
2. Recall the PMS memory channel to which the lower limit (Lnn) or upper limit (Unn) of
the frequency band is registered.
3. Press and hold the [UP] or [DWN] switch of the microphone.

Receiving Weather Broadcast Channels
This transceiver includes the preprogrammed VHF Weather Broadcast Station Memory
Channel Bank, and can receive the broadcast or the weather alert by recalling or scanning a desired channel.
The following channels are stored in the transceiver weather station memory bank:
Channel No. Frequency Channel No. Frequency
WX-01 162.550 MHz WX-06 162.500 MHz
WX-02 162.400 MHz WX-07 162.525 MHz
WX-03 162.475 MHz WX-08 161.650 MHz
WX-04 162.425 MHz WX-09 161.775 MHz
WX-05 162.450 MHz WX-10 163.275 MHz

Using the GPS Function
The transceiver is equipped with an internal GPS receiver to acquire and display the position
information. The GPS information can be used as described in the following examples:
Display the location information of the partner station in digital mode
Refer to “Real-Time Navigation Function” (Page 18)
Save the position information in the memory and use it for navigation purposes
Refer to “Backtrack Function” (Page 18)
Save this station location information and display the route on a computer

About Positioning by GPS
“Positioning” refers to calculation of the current position from the satellite orbit information and radio propagation time. At least 3 satellites must be acquired for successful positioning. If positioning fails, move away from buildings as far as possible away buildings
and position the GPS receiver in an area with open sky.
zAbout errors
The measurement environment may result in positioning errors of several hundred meters. Under favorable conditions, positioning can be performed successfully using only
three satellites. However, under the following poor conditions, the positioning accuracy
can decrease, or positioning can fail:
• Between tall buildings
• Narrow paths between buildings
• Indoors or near large buildings
• Between trees such as in forests or woods
• Under elevated roads or high voltage power lines
• Inside a tunnel or underground
• Through heat reflective glass
• Areas with strong magnetic fields
zWhen not in use for a long time
When using the GPS functions for the first time after purchase, or when it has been
unused in a while, a few minutes may be required to acquire the satellites. Also, if the
GPS function has been turned OFF for several hours, a few minutes may be required
to search for satellites.
