    I’ve tried to look up the possible discrepancies. I hope that these new instructions are correct. Again, if not, my apologies.

    1. 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.

    2. Enable Digital Repeater Auto‑Set (Optional)

      [MENU] → SET → DV Set → Digital Repeater Set → ON

    3. 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.

    4. Store Repeater in Memory

      Use MEMORY menu to assign frequency/callsign to a memory channel. Use imported lists if preferred.

    5. Connect to Repeater

      • Set DV mode.

      • Select memory channel.

      • Hold PTT ~1 sec. Look for “UR?” or receipt of reply.

    6. 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.

    7. 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.
