Setting up the Repeater
Safety measures for installation
Note the following precautions when installing this repeater:
Use good engineering, proper grounding and protective devices to protect the repeater from power surges,
lightening and electrical damage via the power and external antenna connections.
Do not install the repeater in a place where there is extreme vibration, where there is a lot of dust, excessive
humidity or high temperature, or where it is exposed to direct sunlight.
Install the repeater in a well ventilated position, so heat dissipation is not obstructed. The heat sink becomes
hot when transmitting for long periods of time.
Do not place any objects on top of the repeater.
Note that there is a risk that hum and noise may be introduced, depending on the installation conditions and
the external power source used.
Installing the repeater
Place the repeater on a flat and level rack or shelf, with its bottom side down. We recommend securing the
wings of the repeater front panel to the equipment rack or shelf with bolts.
zMounting on rack or shelf
zMounting on a desk
When using the re-
peater in a desktop lo-
cation instead of a rack
or shelf, attach the four
supplied legs onto the
bottom of the repeater
case.
About electrical grounding
The DR-1X repeater, like any other communications apparatus, requires an effective ground system for
maximum electrical safety and best communications effectiveness. A good ground system can contribute to
station efficiency in a number of ways:
•It can minimize the possibility of electrical shock to the operator.
•It can minimize RF currents flowing on the shield of the coaxial
cable and the chassis of the repeater. Such currents may lead to
radiation, which can cause interference to home entertainment
devices or laboratory test equipment.
•It can minimize the possibility of erratic repeater/accessory
operation caused by RF feedback and/or improper current flow
through logic devices.
The figure above shows the rear panel of the DR-1X.
To prevent damage from lightning,
atmospheric electricity, electrical shock,
etc., provide a good earth ground.
Use a short, thick, braided
cable to connect your
station equipment to
the buried ground rod
(or alternative earth
ground system).

Connecting Antenna Cables
The figure above shows the rear panel of the DR-1X.
1 When using a duplexer, plug the coaxial cables from the TX ANT and RX ANT terminals into the jacks of the
duplexer, and tighten the connectors.
2Plug in the terminal of the coaxial cable connected to the antenna into the jack of the duplexer, and turn to

4. Set up Other Functions
Adjusting the squelch level
zWhen the squelch level is set to “open” the repeater will transmit, so the TX output must be connected to the duplexer
and antenna.
zUse extreme caution when making the squelch adjustment or measurement with a signal generator. Do not connect
the signal generator to the duplexer antenna port. To avoid damage to the test equipment, always connect the signal
generator directly to the RX antenna connector on the DR-1X.
zWhile the squelch level is being set, repeater transmit operation is temporarily permitted. This will facilitate checking
the performance of the Duplexer, and allow evaluation of the receiver sensitivity degradation (“desense”), during
simultaneous transmit/receive operation.

6. Set up DG-ID Number
Digital Group Identication (DG-ID)
The Digital Group Identification (DG-ID) feature controls access to the repeaters by using the two-digit numbers
from 01 to 99.
This feature is similar to the CTCSS function used in the Analog FM mode.
The DG-ID number 00 detects signals with all ID numbers.
The default DG-ID number is set to “00”. All the C4FM digital stations' uplink signal may be operated.
• If operating this repeater using the DG-ID, select the FIX DIGITAL mode in the operation mode screen. The
DG-ID function is not available because the Analog FM mode does not include the DG-ID information.
In order to use the DG-ID feature, update the C4FM digital transceivers to the latest firmware compatible with
the DG-ID feature.
•The latest firmware for each transceiver is available on the YAESU website.
• The DR-1X will repeat on the downlink, only the uplink signals with the corresponding DG-ID number if the
DG-ID number is set to an arbitrary number from “01” to “99”, other than “00”. Signals with a different DG-ID
number will not transmit on the downlink.
• If the DG-ID number is set to “00”, all the C4FM digital signals are transmitted on the downlink.
• DG-ID numbers may be registered in the DG-ID memories (up to 100 entries).

7. Set up DP-ID
Digital Personal Identication (DP-ID)
Digital Personal Identification (DP-ID) is the digital ID number each transceiver is programmed with. The
system manager may operate the DR-1X repeater functions, by registering the DG-ID number of the controlling
C4FM digital transceiver to the DR-1X.
In order to use the DP-ID feature, update the C4FM digital transceivers to the latest firmware compatible with
the DP-ID feature.
•The latest firmware for each transceiver is available on the YAESU website.
• The DP-ID may be registered in the DP-ID memories (up to 24 items).

• If using the DP-ID, select the FIX Digital mode in the operation mode screen. When transmitting the DP-ID
signal, set the transceiver to C4FM mode.
The system manager may control the repeater setting remotely from designated transceivers by using this
function.
The transceivers compatible with the remote-control is the FTM-400D, FTM-100D, FTM-3200D and FTM-
3207D.
Example:
•Sets the repeater function ON or OFF
•Changing Downlink Transmission Power
•Setting of the Emergency Call

8. Remote Controls
Setting the remote control
• Remote control of the DR-1X repeater can be performed in either C4FM digital mode or analog FM mode.
For C4FM digital mode, use the FTM-400D, FTM-100D, FTM-3200D or FTM-3207D transceiver. For
security reasons, we recommend using a mobile C4FM transceiver with the DP-ID that is registered to the
DR-1X repeater.
•Remote operation sends commands on the uplink frequency.
• When remote control is required, it is necessary to set whether to control the DR-1X with analog FM or
C4FM in advance.
