• D-STAR system outline
For current existing repeater operation, stations that are com-
municating must be in the same repeater’s operating area.
However, in the D-STAR system as in the illustration at left,
the repeaters can be linked via the system repeaters (with a
10 GHz signal). Thus stations A and B can communicate even
though they are in different repeater operating areas.

Also, the D-STAR system repeaters are connectable through

For example, when station B uses the gateway connection
station B can communicate with the station C!
By using the gateway connection, long distance communica-
tion like DX operation may be possible with 144 or 440 MHz

In the D-STAR system, an independent repeater’s operating
area is called an Area and a group that linking repeaters via a
10 GHz backbone is called a Zone.

About time-out timer function
The IC-91A/91AD has a time-out timer function for digital
repeater operation. The timer limits a continuous transmis-
sion for approx. 10 min. Warning beeps will sound before
30 sec. (approx.) and just before the timer functioning.
