Using the DR scan
The DR scan scans frequencies to find a signal
on a repeater, or on a simplex frequency.
You can use 2 kinds of DR scans, Normal scan
and Near Repeater scan.
Normal scan
To quickly find a repeater, the Normal scan skips
repeaters that are not set as an access repeater.
L
The “USE (FROM)” setting is set to “NO” on the
repeater list.

Repeater List
Near Repeater scan
The Near Repeater scan searches for up to 20
nearby repeaters by using your position data and
the repeater’s entered position data, and then
lists the repeaters.
L
The Near Repeater scan continues, even if you
turn OFF the transceiver, and then turn it ON again
during the scan.
L
If your own position data is not being received from
GPS satellites, the last received position data is
used.
NOTE:
Even if your transceiver receives a
repeater signal, the repeater may not receive
your signal, because the repeater’s output
power is higher than your transceiver’s, and
your signal does not reach the repeater.
TIP:
The DR scan scans the simplex
frequencies in the repeater list, in addition to
D-STAR repeaters.
Example:
Selecting an active repeater using the
DR scan.
1. Hold down for 1 second to display the DR
screen.
2. Touch “FROM” to select.
3. Push
.
• Displays the SCAN SELECT screen.
4. Touch the scan type.
• Normal:
Searches for repeaters whose “USE (FROM)”
setting is set to “YES.”
• Near Repeater (DV/FM):
Searches for up to 20 each of nearby DV or FM
repeaters. (Total 40 repeaters)
• Near Repeater (DV):
Searches for up to 20 nearby DV repeaters.
• Near Repeater (FM):
Searches for up to 20 nearby FM repeaters.
• The selected scan starts.
• In the DR scan, the repeaters are sequentially
displayed by distance, in descending order.
L
The scan resumes the same as other scans.
Blinks
The repeaters are
sequentially displayed.
5. When the transceiver receives a signal from a
repeater, the scan stops. Push
.
• The DR scan is canceled, and the repeater is
set to “FROM.”
