This system provides you to with much wider coverage range during digital voice mode operation.•-D-STAR system outlineFor current repeater operation, stations that are communi-cating 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.Also, the D-STAR system repeaters are connectable through the internet— gateway connection capability. For example, when station B uses the gateway connection station B can communicate with the station C! By using the gateway connection, long distance communica-tion 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.About time-out timer functionThe IC-92A/92AD has a time-out timer function for digital repeater operation.
