Commands
Below are some common commands to use on the D-STAR
repeaters. In the examples shown, the C port (2 meter
repeater) is used. If you are using the 440 repeater, use the
B suffix in RPT1, for 1.2 DV use the A suffix. Throughout,
the ^ symbol indicates a space in your programming.
To record and playback your voice, use the
following command:
UR :
WS4VA^^E
RPT1: WS4VA^^C
RPT2: WS4VA^^G
To check the link status of a repeater, use
the following command:
UR : WS4VA^^I
RPT1: WS4VA^^C
RPT2: WS4VA^^G
The most commonly used command will be to link our
repeater with another, or link our repeater with a reflector.
To link, use the following commands:
To link with the N4USI 2 meter repeater (port C) from
our 2 meter repeater, as an example:
UR :
N4USI^CL
RPT1: WS4VA^^C
RPT2: WS4VA^^G
For the QSO change to YOURCALL for you and everyone else
is as follows:
UR : CQCQCQ
RPT1: WS4VA^^C
RPT2: WS4VA^^G
To unlink:
UR : ^^^^^^^U
RPT1: WS4VA^^C
RPT2: WS4VA^^G
Linking Notes:
- When linking, the destination port is in position 7,
and the link command (L) is in position 8.
- When linking with a reflector, use the same
procedure, but use the appropriate reflector in the YOURCALL slot
(i.e., REF001CL).
- You MUST change the YOURCALL slot to CQCQCQ after
linking. If you leave the Link command in that slot, the
repeater will continue to try to link and already linked repeater,
every time you key your radio. You will get the message Already
Linked over and over.
A Users Manual is in the final phases of
development. It will be posted here when ready.
