For example, when station B uses the internet gateway connection, it can communicate with station C even though they are thousands of miles apart! By using the gateway connection, long distance communication is possible using 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. Internet 10 GHz In traditional repeater operation, stations that are communicating must both be in the repeater's operating area. However, D-STAR repeaters can be linked via a 10 GHz backbone, as shown in the illustration at left. Using D-STAR, stations A and B can communicate even though they are in widely separated repeater operating areas. Station D About time-out timer function The IC-80AD has a time-out timer function for digital repeater operation. The timer limits a continuous transmission to approx. 10 min. Warning beeps will sound approx. 30 sec. before time-out and then again immediately before time-out. DV MODE PROGRAMMING D System description Area 1 Area 3 (Gateway) Area 2 Repeater 1 Repeater 2 Area 4 Repeater 3 Repeater 4 Zone A Internet Network Area 6 (Gateway) Area 5 Repeater 5 Repeater 6 Area 8 Area 7 Repeater 7 Repeater 8 Zone B Area: Zone: The Area is the communication range that is covered by a single repeater. The repeater is called an area repeater in the D-STAR system. The Zone is composed of several areas, that are linked by a 10 GHz microwave link. The areas 1 to 4 and 5 to 8 make up a zone at the example above. Link repeater: Gateway repeater: The microwave (10 GHz) link repeater provides to linking with another repeater site (Area) for zone construction. Gateway repeaters provide communications between different zones via the internet. The repeater 3 and 6 are gateway repeaters at the example above. 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 35 6 DV MODE PROGRAMMING N Call sign programming Four types of current call sign memory are available; “MY” (my call sign=your own call sign) “UR” (your call sign=other station call sign) “RPT1” (access repeater call sign) and “RPT2” (link repeater call sign). Each call sign can be programmed with up to 8 characters. In addition, "MY" can store up to 6 call signs, and "UR" can store up to 60 call signs in the call sign memory.
