What can the D-STAR system do?
|
|
128kbps
digital data and 4.8kbps digital voice communication
|
| The
D-STAR system provides not only digital voice (DV mode)
communication but also digital data transmission (DD mode). It
can exchange various data files such as graphics, images, etc,
at 128kbps. |
|
Your voice
and data can reach further than ever 26 |
| Multiple
repeater links by radio and the Internet provide long distance
communication to virtually anywhere. |
|
Internet
application available |
| The
D-STAR system uses the TCP/IP protocol, so when connected with a
PC, web, e-mail and other Internet applications are available. |
|
Wireless
Internet Access |
| No matter
where you travel within the DSTAR network, you can access the
web, e-mail, text messages and multimedia messages. |
|
Independent network |
| In DD
mode, ID-1 can transfer data directly with another ID-1 without
the use of a repeater. This is useful for establishing a simple
network where a D-STAR repeater does not exist or D-STAR
services are not required. |
|
Increase
efficiency of emergency communications26 |
| Out in
the field, fast emergency information is the key. Send pictures
and weather charts to or from a remote location with the ID-1.
gA picture is worth a thousand wordsh, and efficient
send/receive opens up your repeater for other emergency
communications. |
|
D-STAR system will be upgraded |
| The
D-STAR system will be enhanced and new D-STAR radios will be
released, adding features and performance to the D-STAR system. |

D-STAR repeater system |
|
| |
The D-STAR repeater is composed of a repeater
controller, 1.2GHz digital voice repeater, digital data
repeater, 10GHz microwave relay and the Internet gateway
PC. For the signal is digital data, no information is
lost due to conversion and multiple repeater relays are
possible in this system. The D-STAR system repeater can
perform 3 relay functions as shown in the following
figures. |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
| Single
repeater |
 |
| The
D-STAR repeater operates similar to existing analog repeater.
That is a simple relay of transmit and receive communication in
1.2GHz band. |
| |
|
Microwave link |
 |
| When
D-STAR repeaters are connected via 10GHz microwave, the D-STAR
system transfers a received data to another repeater site. You
can also make a CQ call to a specified repeater area.
|
| |
|
Internet gateway relay |
 |
| When
D-STAR repeaters are connected with the Internet gateway, the
D-STAR system relays the received data over the Internet.
Microwave links and Internet gateways can be combined even
during one contact. So your message will get through virtually
to anywhere in the D-STAR system. |
| |
| |
|
|
| |
PC remote controller supplied |
|
| |
 |
|
| |
The controller software is supplied with the ID-1. When
the ID-1 is connected to a PC via a USB cable, most
functions of the ID-1 can be controlled from the PC. In
DD mode operation*, you can browse web sites and send
and receive e-mail as if the ID-1 is a 10W wireless
network adapter. * Ethernet port is required for DD mode
operation. |

|
Useful
callsign functions |
| The ID-1
embeds your own and the called stationfs callsign in your
transmission. When you input "CQCQCQ" as the intended station,
you can make a CQ call in the area. The calling station's ID is
displayed on the received station and a newly received callsign
can be automatically stored in the memory. |
|
Digital
callsign squelch (DSQL) & Digital code squelch (CSQL)
|
| The DSQL
opens the squelch, only when your callsign is received. When you
share a single callsign with a club or group members, the CSQL
function allows you to set a CSQL code from 00 to 99 and
provides quiet stand-by while other members are talking.
|
|
EMR mode
operation |
| When you
require the attention of all stations in the area, the Enhanced
Monitor Request (EMR) mode operation allows the caller to bypass
the CSQL and DSQL setting of the receivers station. During EMR
mode operation, all receiving stations will hear your audio,
even though they may be muted. |
|
Short
message in DV mode |
| Short
messages of 20 characters max. can be sent in DV mode operation. |
|
Analog FM
mode operation |
| The ID-1
also operates in analog FM mode, allowing you to communicate
with an analog FM transceiver. In FM mode operation, the ID-1
has CTCSS tone squelch and pocket beep functions for quiet
stand-by. |
