Safety measures for installation
Note the followings 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.
Install the repeater as far as possible away from TV and radio equipment to avoid (TVI, BCI).
In particular, do not install the repeater near indoor antenna elements.
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.
Mounting on a desk
When using the repeater in a desktop location instead of a rack or shelf, attach the four supplied legs onto the bottom of the repeater
case.

About electrical grounding
The DR-1X/DR-1XE 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.
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).
Note The figure above shows the rear panel of the DR-1X.
About the antenna
A good antenna installation is extremely important for transmission and reception purposes. Note the followings, as the type and
characteristics of the antenna largely determines whether the performance of the repeater can be fully realized.
• Use an antenna that is designed for the installation conditions and application objective.
• Use an antenna that is tuned for the operating band and frequency.
• Useanantennaandaco-axialcablewithacharacteristicimpedanceof50Ω.
• AdjusttheVSWR(standingwaveratio)untilitis1.5orlessforanantennawithanadjustedimpedanceof50Ω.
• Keep the coaxial cable routing length as short as possible.
• Use lightening and voltage surge protection devises.
Antenna consideration
Repeater operation without a duplexer requires that two antennas be installed, one for receiving and one for transmitting, so that the
receiving antenna does not absorb energy from the transmitting antenna. There are a number of ways to do this, depending on the
TX/RX frequency separation, and on the locations available for antenna mounting. If a duplexer is used, a single antenna suffices for
both transmitting and receiving. If using a reduced-size duplexer, a six-cavity model (minimum) is recommended. Yaesu recommends
the use of the duplexer. For further details, contact your Yaesu dealer.
Regardless of the above choice, it is of paramount importance that the antenna(s) be mounted as high and in the clear as possible,
preferably within line-of-sight to all repeater users. Furthermore, losses in the feedline(s) must be minimized, so the feedline(s) should
be high quality, and as short as possible. If a long feedline is necessary, use coaxial “hardline” cable to reduce losses. Repeater
antennasshouldhaveanimpedanceof50Ωattheoperatingfrequency.Whenseparatereceiveandtransmitantennasareused,
high-Q narrow-band types may serve to minimize interaction. However, when a single antenna is used with a duplexer, it should be a
low-Q wide-band type.
Cautions
zNever transmit without having a transmit antenna connected to the TX antenna jack of the Repeater.
zCreate a loop (slack) in the coaxial cable directly underneath the antenna and fasten it so that the weight of the cable does not pull on the antenna or
connector itself.
zInstall the antenna taking into consideration the securing supports and how the guying wires are positioned, so that the antenna does not fall over or get
blown away in strong winds.

Caution
zUse an AC outlet capable of supplying AC 100 to 240 V at 50 or 60 Hz.
1Insert the socket of the provided AC power cord into the AC IN jack at the rear of the repeater
2Insert the plug of the provided AC power cord into the AC outlet
●Backup power
For uninterrupted operation during power failures, a 13.8 V rechargeable automotive type battery (55-Ah or more recommended) may
be connected to the BACKUP terminal posts on the rear panel. In the event of an AC power outage, the automatic power control circuit
will automatically switch the repeater to the backup battery, and operation will not be interrupted.
If the power is out for a long time, the battery may be completely discharged. When the power is restored the DC startup current may
blow the protection fuse. So the protection fuse in charge circuit should be checked after an outage.
While operating from a battery or DC supply, the repeater requires approximately 14 A at 13.8 V during transmit.
Follow the outline in the illustration regarding the proper connection of the DC power cable.
Always observe proper polarity when making DC connection.
Cautions
zUse a power source capable of supplying DC 13.8 V and a current capacity of 14 A or more.
zMake sure to switch OFF the power of the external power source before connecting.

carrier on the receiver channel.
5 GND GND Chassis ground for all logic levels and power supply return
6 TONE IN Input CTCSS/DCS EXT input / 600 ohm, 500 mV peak to peak
Valid during external PTT control
This pin is sub-audible tone input, and has a flat response characteristic (repeater
deviation is constant for a given signal level over the frequency range of 5 ~ 250
Hz). Injecting a too high signal level here causes over-deviation of CTCSS or DCS,
degrading performance.
Use shielded cable to connect to this pin, connecting the shield to GND.
7 AF IN Input EXT Modulation input / 600 ohm, 1.5 V peak to peak
Valid during external PTT control
This pin is audio input (300 ~ 3,000 Hz). This audio is injected before the splatter filter
stage, so excess signal input levels are clipped.
It is impossible to input analog modulation signals and convert them to digital signals
on DR-1X/DR-1XE.
Use shielded cable to connect to this pin, and connect the shield to GND.
Tip AF IN is usually used for analog modulation input with a packet speed of 1200 bps, however,
to input C4FM digital signals for digital modulation operations, enter the DR-1X/DR-1XE
Repeater mode, then touch the up-link frequency display area to change the packet speed to
9600 bps.
8 DISC OUT Output Up-link RX DISC output (w/o de-emphasis), 500 mV peak to peak

Caution
Even when using the DR-1X/DR-1XE with an external controller, the COR, analog and digital IDs, TOT, DSC/CTCSS, TX power, etc.
are already controlled by the DR-1X/DR-1XE internal control. These internal controls cannot be disabled. The external controller
must not conflict with these functions. Some functions of the internal controller cannot be overridden.
Before connecting an external controller you must make sure which functions are already internally controlled. Special precautions
must be considered when planning to link with external systems.
Tips
• Make sure to switch off the power to the radio before connecting the cable.
• In case of jamming or interfering signal while in Repeater mode, Pin 1 may be grounded by external control to temporarily disable repeating the receiver
input.
To use DR-1X/DR-1XE in Remote mode
By setting [REMOTE]inthesetupmenutoONandinputtingalowleveltoPin1ofthe[CONTROLI/O]connector,therepeatermaybe
used in Remote mode and controlled remotely by the external controller. Pins 1, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13 and 14 may be used for input, output
and control while in Remote mode.
