I’ve tried to look up the possible discrepancies. I hope that these new instructions are correct. Again, if not, my apologies.
-
My Call Sign
[MENU] → SET → My Station → My Call Sign
Enter up to six callsigns; Terminal mode (ID‑52A PLUS) has separate TM call sign setting.
-
Enable Digital Repeater Auto‑Set (Optional)
[MENU] → SET → DV Set → Digital Repeater Set → ON
-
Enter Repeater/Gateway Callsigns (if manual)
In DV Gateway:
[MENU] → DV Gateway → DV Gateway Connection → Terminal/Access Point → set RPT1 and RPT2 with repeater B and G suffixes.
-
Store Repeater in Memory
Use MEMORY menu to assign frequency/callsign to a memory channel. Use imported lists if preferred.
-
Connect to Repeater
-
Set DV mode.
-
Select memory channel.
-
Hold PTT ~1 sec. Look for “UR?” or receipt of reply.
-
-
Run Local CQ or Gateway CQ
-
Set TO field: “Local CQ” for local repeater, or repeater callsign for gateway operation via DR/TO SELECT screen.
-
-
Reflector Linking
-
In DR/TO, set TO = reflector callsign (e.g. REFxxxY), then hold PTT. Must first unlink current reflector.
-
Summary of Discrepancies
-
Renamed “DV Gateway Set” → “DV Gateway”.
-
Repeater callsigns are not under “DV Gateway Set” but under DV Gateway Connection.
-
Digital Repeater Set is off by default; optional but useful.
-
Terminal vs Normal mode has separate call sign memory.
-
Reflector linking step clarified: TO field usage and unlink requirement.
