D-STAR INTRODUCTION
D About the D-STAR system
In the original D-STAR (Digital Smart Technologies for
Amateur Radio) plan, JARL envisioned a system of
repeaters grouped together into Zones. A zone would
be a group of up to 4 repeaters, linked by 10 GHz
“backbone” microwave Link repeaters. Each individual
repeater would be call an Area repeater, and would
be the Access repeater to begin communications.
Calls could be made to other Area repeaters within
the Zone, using the backbone Link repeater system.
One of the repeaters in the Zone would have an Internet connection, and so in addition to being an Area
repeater, it also became the Zone Gateway repeater.
The Internet gateway provided a way to communicate
to other Zones, giving access to the Area repeaters
within them, and eventually to the entire world.
s $ 34!2 SYSTEM OUTLINE
Repeater A
Area
Like other communication modes, you can operate
simplex D-STAR with other hams, for direct communication.
See pages 85 to 120 for the D-STAR operation details.
NOTE: The optional UT-121 is required for the DSTAR operation with the IC-9100.
iii
Repeater B
440 MHz
Station B
Internet
Call signs are the heart of D-STAR operation. Four call
signs are used:
Call sign routing, one of the main features of D-STAR,
allows hams to contact other hams, or other repeaters using just the ham’s or repeater’s call sign. The
D-STAR system will automatically route your signal to
the desired ham or repeater. Call sign capture allows
hams using an Icom radio to “capture” a call sign and
automatically program their radio for a reply.

Zone:
The Area is the communication range
that is covered by a single repeater.
The repeater is called an area, or
access repeater in the D-STAR system.
The Zone is composed of several areas, that are linked
by a 10 GHz microwave link.
Areas 1 to 4 and 5 to 8 make up a zone in the example
above.
Link repeater:
Gateway repeater:
The microwave (10 GHz) link repeater
provides linking with another repeater
site (Area) for zone construction.
Gateway repeaters provide communications between
different zones via the internet.
Repeater 3 and 6 are gateway repeaters at the
example above.

N 3ELECTING A LOCATION
N 'ROUNDING
Select a location for the transceiver that allows adequate air circulation, free from extreme heat, cold, or
vibrations, and away from TV sets, TV antenna elements, radios and other electromagnetic sources.
To prevent electrical shock, television interference
(TVI), broadcast interference (BCI) and other problems, ground the transceiver using the GROUND terminal on the rear panel.
For best results, connect a heaviest gauge wire or
strap to a long ground rod. Make the distance between
the [GND] terminal and ground as short as possible.
The base of the transceiver has adjustable feet for
desktop use. Set the feet to one of two angles, to meet
your operating preference.
R WARNING! NEVER connect the [GND] terminal to a gas or electric pipe, since the connection
could cause an explosion or electric shock.

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS
N !NTENNA CONNECTION
For radio communications, the antenna is of critical
importance, along with output power and receiver sensitivity. Select a well-matched 50 ø antenna and coaxial cable feedline. We recommend 1.5:1 or better of
Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) on your operating bands. The transmission line should be a coaxial
cable.
When using a single antenna (for the HF/50 MHz
band), use the [ANT1] connector.
CAUTION: Protect your transceiver from lightning
by using a lightning arrestor.
PL-259 CONNECTOR INSTALLATION EXAMPLE
30 mm
Coupling ring
Slide the coupling ring
down. Strip the cable
jacket and tin the shield.
!NTENNA 372
Each antenna is tuned for a specified frequency
range and the SWR usually increases outside the
range. When the SWR is higher than approximately
2.0:1, the transceiver automatically reduces the TX
power to protect the final transistors. In that case, an
antenna tuner is useful to match the transceiver and
antenna. Low SWR allows full power for transmitting. The IC-9100 has an SWR meter to continuously
monitor the antenna SWR.

For your information
When you are receiving a weak signal, and a strong
signal is momentarily received, the AGC function
quickly reduces the receiver gain. When that signal disappears, the transceiver may not receive
the weak signal because of the AGC action. In that
case, hold down [AGC](F-1) for 1 second, and rotate [MAIN DIAL] to set the time constant to OFF.

[SPLIT]
When you hold down [SPLIT] for 1 second, the Split
frequency operation is turned ON. The undisplayed
VFO is automatically changed according to the plus/
minus frequency shift programmed in the Set mode. Or
the VFOs are equalized when 0 kHz (default setting) is
programmed as the split frequency shift. (p. 162)
The Quick Split function is ON by default. For your
convenience, it can be turned OFF in the Set mode.

The IC-9100 has a call sign edit record function.
When you edit a call sign that is stored in a call sign
memory, the edited call sign is automatically programmed into a blank channel.
If all call sign memories are already programmed, the
edited call sign will overwrite the selected channel’s
call sign.
The programmed call sign can be over-written anytime,
when the “Edit Record” item is set to OFF or Select, in
