N One-touch PTT function
The PTT switch can be operated as a one-touch PTT switch
(each push toggles between transmit/receive). Using this
function you can transmit without pushing and holding the
PTT switch.
To prevent accidental, continuous transmissions with this
function, the transceiver has a time-out timer. See p. 101 for
details.

REPEATER OPERATION

N General
Repeaters allow you to extend the operational range of your
radio because a repeater has much higher output power than
the typical transceiver.
Normally, a repeater has independent frequencies for each
receiver and transmitter.
A subaudible tone may also be required to access a re-
peater.
Reference amateur radio handbooks and local ham maga-
zines for details of local repeaters such as repeater input/out-
put frequencies and locations.
Repeater example;
Receives the 444.540 MHz signal
and the detected audio signals are
transmitted on 449.540 MHz
simultaneously.
Station A:
Tx: 444.540 MHz
Rx: 449.540 MHz
Station B:
Tx: 444.540 MHz
Rx: 449.540 MHz
• Repeater operation flow chart
Step 3:
Set the duplex (shift) direction (– duplex or +duplex).
- Set the offset frequency (amount of shift), if required.
Step 4:
Set the subaudible tone (repeater tone) encoder function ON.
- Set the subaudible tone frequency, if required.
Step 1:
Set the desired band to operate the repeater.
Step 2:
Set the desired receive frequency (repeater output frequency).
• The ID-880H 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.

N About the D-STAR system
In the D-STAR (Digital Smart Technologies for Amateur
Radio) system, repeater linking via a 10 GHz backbone and/
or internet gateway provides you with much wider coverage
range during digital voice mode operation.

In traditional repeater operation, stations that are communi-
cating 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.
Furthermore, D-STAR repeaters can be linkled through an
internet gateway, which can extend the communication range
dramatically. 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 gate-
way 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.
About time-out timer function
The IC-880H has a time-out timer function for digital re-
peater operation. The timer limits a continuous transmis-
sion to approx. 10 min. Warning beeps will sound approx.
30 sec. before time-out and then again immediately before
time-out.

Area:
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.
Zone:
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:
The microwave (10 GHz) link repeater
provides to linking with another repeater
site (Area) for zone construction.
Gateway repeater:
Gateway repeaters provide communications between
different zones via the internet.
The repeater 3 and 6 are gateway repeaters at the
example above.

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 sta-
tion 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. Up to 300
repeater call signs can be stored in the repeater list.
D Your own call sign programming
Your own call sign must be programmed for both digital voice
and low-speed data communications (including GPS trans-
mission).

t Repeat the step r to enter your own call sign.
• Up to an 8 digit of call sign can be set.
• If an unwanted character is entered, push [](LOW) or [](CS)
to select the character, then push [CLR](DR) to erase the se-
lected character, or push and hold [CLR](DR) for 1 sec. to erase
all characters following the cursor.
• To program a note (up to 4 characters, for operating radio type,
area, etc.), go to step y, otherwise go to step i.
y Push [](LOW) several times to set the cursor beside “/”
indication.

For your information
The ID-880H has a call sign edit record function.
When editing a call sign stored in a call sign memory (or reg-
ular memory/call channel), the default setting is to store the
edited call sign into blank channel automatically ("FULL" is
displayed when all call sign memory is programmed).
The edited call sign can be over-written when the setting of
the EDIT R (Edit record) is set to OFF or SEL. (p. 132)
However, you must manually over-write a reprogrammed call
sign in regular memory/call channels (temporary operation
without over-writing is possible).
D Current repeater call sign programming
“RPT1” or “RPT2” can store current call only, and repeater
call signs must be stored in the repeater list
(p. 39)
