Step 1: Set the desired band to operate the repeater. Normally, a repeater has indipendent frequencies for each receiver and transmitter. A subaudible tone may also be required to access a repeater Step 2: Set the desired receive frequency (repeater output frequency). Reference amateur radio hand books and local ham magazines for details of local repeaters such as repeater input/output frequencies and locations. Repeater example; Receives the 444.540 MHz signal and the detected audio signals are transmitted on 449.540 MHz simultaneously. Step 3: Set the duplex (shifting) direction (– duplex or +duplex). - Set the offset frequency (shifting value), if required. Step 4: Set the subaudible tone (repeater tone) encoder function ON. - Set the subaudible tone frequency, if required. • The IC-2820H USA version has the auto repeater function. Thus the steps 3 and 4 may not be necessary, depending on the setting. • Repeater settings can be stored into a memory channel.

This system provides you to with much wider coverage range during digital voice mode operation. Also, the D-STAR system repeaters are connectable through the internet— gateway connection capability. • D-STAR system outline Repeater A 10 GHz Repeater B 440 MHz 440 MHz Station Station Internet network 10 GHz Repeater D Repeater C 440 MHz Station C 81 For current repeater operation, stations that are communicating must both be in the same repeater’s operating area. However, in the D-STAR system as in the illustration at left, the repeaters can be linked via the system repeaters (with a 10 GHz signal). Thus stations A and B can communicate even though they are in different repeater operating areas. 440 MHz Station D For example, when station B uses the gateway connection station B can communicate with the station C! By using the gateway connection, long distance communication like DX operation may be possible with 144 or 440 MHz digital voice! In the D-STAR system, an independent repeater’s operating area is called an Area and a group that of linked repeaters via a 10 GHz backbone is called a Zone.

Connect ground to transmit data. r DATA OUT Data out terminal for 9600 bps operation only. t AF OUT Data out terminal for 1200 bps operation only. y P SQL Becomes high (+5 V) when the transceiver receives a signal which opens the squelch. • To avoid unnecessary TNC transmission, connect squelch to the TNC to inhibit transmission when receiving signals. • Keep audio output at a normal level, otherwise a “P SQL” signal will not be output. D 1200 bps packet operation 14 TX AUDIO GND e PTT P y P SQL t AF OUT RX AUDIO PTT SQL w Set the TNC for transmit. e Set transmit delay on the TNC to 30–50. r Adjust the TNC frequency deviation if necessary. • When using a deviation meter: Adjust the output of the TNC so that frequency deviation is in the range ± 3 to ±4 kHz. • When NOT using a deviation meter: A receiver or transceiver is needed to monitor the transmission—compare the received audio output level when receiving a TNC modulated signal with high level voice signals using the microphone. Then adjust the TNC modulated signal to a lower level than the voice modulated signal. 10 11 14 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 124 14 OTHER FUNCTIONS D 9600 bps high speed packet operation • Read the instructions supplied with your TNC carefully before attempting packet operation with the transceiver. • Pin t AF OUT is for 1200 bps operation only. This pin cannot be used for 9600 bps operation. • Over modulation may degrade signal quality. If you find that many transmissions are failing, re-adjust the modulation level. The transceiver supports 2 modes of 9600 bps packet operation: G3RUH and GMSK. q Connect the transceiver and a TNC as illustrated below. TNC side q DATA IN w GND e PTT P TX AUDIO GND r DATA OUT y P SQL RX AUDIO PTT SQL w G3RUH mode can handle 16 kinds of modulated wave forms in order to maintain a communication link. e Set transmit delay on the TNC to 30–50. r Adjust the TNC frequency deviation if necessary (see page at right). 125 OTHER FUNCTIONS • When using the PTT P terminal for packet operation, no voice signals are transmitted from the microphone. • When pushing [PTT] during data transmission, data transmission is interrupted and the voice signal takes priority. • Read the instructions supplied with your TNC carefully before attempting packet operation with the transceiver. • Pin r DATA OUT is for 9600 bps operation only. This pin cannot be used for 1200 bps operation. 14 D Adjusting the transmit signal output from the TNC When setting data transmission speed to 9600 bps, the data signal coming from the TNC is applied exclusively to the internal limiter circuitry to automatically maintain band width. NEVER apply data levels from the TNC of over 0.6 V p-p, otherwise the transceiver will not be able to maintain the band width and may possibly interfere with other stations. 1. When using a level meter or synchroscope, adjust the TX audio output level (DATA IN level) from the TNC as follows. 0.4 V p-p (0.2 V rms) 0.2 V p-p–0.5 V p-p (0.1–0.25 V rms) : recommended level : acceptable level 2. When NOT using a measuring device. q Connect the transceiver to a TNC. w Enter a test mode (“CAL”, etc.) on the TNC, then transmit some test data. e When the transceiver fails to transmit the test data or transmits sporadically (TX indicator doesn’t appear or flashes): - Decrease the TNC output level until the transmit indicator lights continuously. When transmission is not successful even though the TX indicator lights continuously: - Increase the TNC output level. 10 11 14 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 126 13 MAINTENANCE ■ Troubleshooting PROBLEM Does not turn on.
