D-STAR System Introduction Five Examples of Having Fun with D-STAR Repeater A Repeater E Repeater D Repeater C Repeater B GPS satellite What does “D-STAR” stand for? Frequently Asked Questions About D-STAR Q Q A A you can easily realize these functions without using a tricky gadget or complicated facilities. DV mode only Digital voice (DV mode) ID-RP2D: 1.2GHz DD mode RF module ID-RP2C: Repeater controller D-STAR repeater Short data message (DV mode) GPS tracking (DV mode) Call sign identification and short data messages are available. With a GPS receiver, you can send your current position information to another radio. You can transmit live images in DD mode and watch real-time images from a remote location. Internet access (DD mode)* In DD mode operation, you can access to the Internet via a D-STAR Internet gateway. Connect a PC with the ID-1 and you can browse web sites or check e-mail. Internet connection* Analog audio is modulated to a digital signal and transmitted in the digital mode signal by the D-STAR radio. IP camera (DD mode) Internet Photo shows ID-RP2V. DV mode (4.8kbps) DD mode (128kbps) ID-RP2V: 1.2GHz DV mode RF module ID-RP2000V: 144MHz DV mode RF module ID-RP4000V: 430(440)MHz DV mode RF module RS-RP2C: Internet gateway software These are DV (digital voice) mode RF modules for the respective bands. With a combination of these RF modules, cross band oper- ation with 144/430 (440)/1200MHz bands is available. The Internet gateway (GW) con- nects the D-STAR repeater sta- tion to the Internet and links multi- ple D-STAR repeater stations via the Internet. One unit is required for each repeater station and connects up to 4 RF mod- ules. Transfers the received signal to the specified RF module or the Internet gateway server. The ID-RP2D is the DD mode RF module for 1.2GHz. It provides 128kbps high speed data communication. Can I send data with a voice transmission? Q A Yes, you can. In DV mode operation, you can simultaneously send up to 950bps of data, such as call sign, short data message or GPS position with a voice transmission. Can I use the D-STAR repeater without connecting to the Internet?Q A Yes, you can use a D-STAR repeater as a local repeater. You can also communicate with other D-STAR radios directly. Can I make a call with foreign countries?Q A Yes, you can*. The Internet gateway allows you to relay your call to a remote D-STAR repeater over the Internet. The D-STAR repeater call sign and IP address must be reg- istered to the gateway server. * Some restrictions may apply depending on specific countries regulations. Can I receive a call only when the call is intended for me?Q A Yes, you can. The call sign squelch function opens the squelch only when your call sign is received. How do I set a repeater call sign when I make a call to a desired station using a D-STAR repeater? Q A When you communicate with other D-STAR stations using a D-STAR repeater, it is necessary to set the repeaters call sign in RPT1/RPT2 as well as the desired station call sign and your own call sign. For example, when you make a call in the same zone (without using the Internet gateway), set the uplink repeater call sign in RPT1 and the downlink repeater call sign in RPT2. Set CQCQCQ for the desired station call sign, when you make a CQ call. When you make a call in another zone using the Internet gateway, set the uplink repeater call sign in RPT1 and the gateway call sign in RPT2. The gateway repeater has G setting for the 8th-digit. Set / plus downlink repeater call sign at the desired station call sign, when you make a CQ call. Application 1 Application 2 Application 3 Application 4 Application 5 The Internet gateway allows linking of D-STAR repeater sites over the Internet. You can uplink to your local repeater and downlink from a remote repeater, even from a foreign country! Voice is crisp and clear! * Some restrictions may apply depending on specific countries regulations.
