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 communica-
tions between of 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 func-
tions 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 se-
curely 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-300D remote-control screen while in C4FM digital mode, press and
hold the [
microphone. For details on the remote-control function of the DR-2X, refer to the DR-2X
instruction manual.

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 your location information and display the trajectory on your computer
Refer to “Saving GPS Information (GPS Log Function)” (Page 20)
Save the DP-ID of frequently contacted stations and check whether they are
within the sphere of communications
Refer to the separate “Operating Manual GM Edition”
Exchange position information and messages through data communications
with other stations
Refer to the separate “Operating Manual APRS Edition”
Positioning Using GPS
The built-in GPS receiver function is enabled when the power of the FTM-300DR/DE
is turned ON. The satellite search will begin and the “
of the display. The FTM-300DR/DE automatically obtains the internal clock setting, and
your location information setting from the GPS data.
• It may take several minutes to acquire the GPS satellites.
• When three or more satellites cannot be acquired, the “ ” icon will disappear. In this
case, positioning is not possible, and the position information cannot be used.
” icon will be shown at the top
About Positioning by GPS
“Positioning” refers to calculation of your current position from the satellite orbit infor-
mation 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 and posi-
tion 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.

When transmitting a large volume of packet data, the transmission time gets longer, and
the transceiver may heat up. When transmission continues for a long period of time, the
overheating prevention circuit will act to lower the transmit power output. When transmission
is continued further, transmission will be suspended automatically, and the transceiver will go
into the receive mode to prevent failure due to overheating. When the overheating prevention
circuit is activated and the radio goes into the receive mode, either switch the power OFF, or
wait in receive mode until the transceiver cools.

Maintenance
Care and maintenance
Turn the power OFF before wiping away any dust and stains on the transceiver with a
dry soft cloth. For stubborn stains, slightly moisten a soft cloth and wring it out before
using it to wipe away the stains.
Never use washing detergents and organic solvents (thinner, benzene, etc.). Doing so may
result in paint flaking or damage to the transceiver finish.
Replacing the fuse
When the fuse of the DC power supply cable blows and the transceiver becomes inop-
erable, correct the cause of the problem, and then replace the fuse with a new one of
the correct (15 Amp) rating.
When replacing the fuse, be sure to disconnect the power supply cable from the transceiver
and from the external DC power supply.
zReplacing the fuse of the DC power supply cable
1. Prepare a new fuse.
Use a fuse with a rating of 15A.
Never attempt to use a fuse that is not of the specified rating
3. Open the fuse holder as shown in the diagram on
the right.
4. Remove the blown fuse.

Troubleshooting
Check the following before requesting repair services.
There is no power
• Is the external power supply connected correctly?
Connect the black wire to the negative (-) terminal and the red wire to the positive (+)
terminal.
• Is the voltage and current capacity of the external power supply sufficient?
Check the voltage and current capacity of the external power supply.
Voltage: 13.8 V
Current capacity: 20 A or higher
• Is the fuse blown?
Replace the fuse.
There is no sound
• Is the squelch level or setting too high?
Adjust the squelch level when receiving weak signals.
• Is the volume low?
Increase the volume by turning the VOL knob in the clockwise direction.
• Is the tone squelch or DCS set to on?
When the tone squelch or DCS is turned on, no sound will be heard until signals
containing the set tone frequency or DCS code corresponding to the set code are re-
ceived.
• Is the C4FM digital mode on?
When the AMS function is on, the sound is not output until the transceiver receives an
Analog FM mode signal. Also, when the DG-ID function is ON, and the DG-ID number
to other than “00”, the sound is not output until the transceiver receives a signal with a
corresponding DG-ID number.
• Is the external speaker connected?
Properly connect a speaker with an impedance of 4 to 16 Ω.
• Is the Bluetooth
Turn OFF the power of the Bluetooth
using “OPTION” in the setup menu.
