A Digital Smart Technologies for Amateur Radio (D-
STAR) repeater can be constructed by combining the
following equipment, depending on your site plan.
ID-RP2C: Repeater controller
ID-RP2D: 1.2 GHz data repeater
ID-RP2V: 1.2 GHz digital voice repeater
In addition, the following options may also be required
for system repeater operations.
AH-108: 1.2 GHz Collinear antenna
■ID-RP2C
➥The ID-RP2C is a repeater controller and one con-
troller must be used in each repeater site.
The controller relays digital voice or data (traffic) sig-
nals for repeater operation.
➥A total of four interface connectors for local repeater
connections are available.
Both digital voice and data repeaters can be con-
nected as desired.
• Typical configuration:
One data repeater
One digital voice repeater
Two extra for additional repeaters.
NOTE: Connecting only 1 or 2 repeaters for the
same frequency band is recommended
to avoid interference.
➥One Ethernet port (10Base-T) is available for setting
the operating frequency, repeater site call sign, IP
address and operation monitoring, using the PC
and the ID-RP2C utility software.
Or, a gateway control PC can be connected if de-
sired.
■ID-RP2D
➥The ID-RP2D is a 1.2 GHz data (128 kbps) repeater
and connects to the ID-RP2C.
*The ID-RP2D never functions as a stand-alone repeater
without the ID-RP2C, because no relay function is built-in.
➥The ID-RP2D and ID-RP2V utility software, sup-
plied with the ID-RP2C, and a PC are required for
both receive and transmit frequency settings.
➥Repeater operation is performed in simplex mode
on the same frequency for data mode. However,
different frequencies between transmit and receive
can be set in simplex mode.
■ID-RP2V
➥The ID-RP2V is a 1.2 GHz digital voice and slow-
speed data repeater (4.8 kbps) and connects to the
ID-RP2C.
* The ID-RP2V never functions as a stand-alone repeater
without the ID-RP2C, because no relay function is built-in.
NOTE: No audio CODEC is performed in the ID-
RP2V, thus the ID-RP2V receives and
transmits 4.8 kbps serial data only.
➥Different frequencies are used for each transmis-
sion and reception in semi-duplex mode.
➥The ID-RP2D/V utility software, supplied with the
ID-RP2C, and a PC are required for both receive
and transmit frequency settings.
■AH-108: 1.2 GHz Collinear an-
tenna
➥Two collinear antennas are built-in and better isola-
tion is provided than two separated antennas.
About the ID-RP2C Utility software:
The ID-RP2C boxed with this instruction manual
requires the utility software revision 2.2 or later.
The utility software revision 2.0 or earlier is not
compatible.

■Power supply requirements
Make sure that the DC power supply that is used
with the ID-RP2 system is meet the following
requirements:
Output voltage: 13.8 V DC ±15%
Currentcapacity: At least the total current
consumption of the connected
equipment, with consideration for
current fluctuations.
■Installing in a system rack
The ID-RP2C/D/V are designed to be installed in a
standard EIA 19-inch rack.
Use the supplied bolts with the rack when fixing the
ID-RP2C/D/V.
We recommend using a rack that has rails because the
weigh of the ID-RP2D and ID-RP2V is approximately
6.2 kg (13.7 lbs) and approximately 7.5 kg (16.5
lbs), respectively.
■Attaching the rubber feet
For desktop installations, attach the supplied rubber
feet onto the bottom of the ID-RP2C/D/V as shown
below.
■Grounding
To prevent electrical shock, television interference
(TVI), broadcast interference (BCI) and other problems,
ground the transceiver through the GROUND terminal
on the rear panel.
For best results, connect a heavy gauge wire or strap
to a long earth-sunk copper rod.
Make the distance between the [GND] terminal and
ground as short as possible.
RWARNING: NEVER connect the [GND] a gas
or electric pipe, since the connection could cause
an explosion or electric shock.
