Using the convenient Digital C4FM feature
About the Digital Group ID (DG-ID) feature
1. Digital Group ID (DG-ID) function allows communications with only the specific group
members using the two-digit ID numbers. The desired DG-ID number from 00 to 99
is set in advance by all the group members. This ID number may be set separately
for transmit and receive, when the same ID number is set for both transmit and re-
ceive, only group members with the same ID number will be heard. This feature may
be used to communicate only with group members that have the same DG-ID num-
ber. The GM function may also be utilized to automatically monitor whether or not
group member stations with the same DG-ID number are operating within communi-
cation range.
The DG-ID number 00 detects signals with all ID numbers. Normally setting the ID
number to “00” for both transmit and receive will permit reception of the signals from
all other stations using the digital C4FM mode, regardless of the transmit DG-ID
number settings of the other stations.
Also note that when the receive DG-ID number of your transceiver is set to a DG-ID
number other than “00”, received signals that do not have the same DG-ID number
may not be heard.
2. When accessing the C4FM digital repeater controlled by the DG-ID number, set the
transmit DG-ID number of the FT3DR to that of the repeater input. Even in that case,
if the receive DG-ID number of the FT3DR is set to “00”, all the downlink signals from
the repeater may be received.
Communicating with the DG-ID feature
 Digital C4FM mode transceivers compatible with the DG-ID function are required in order
to utilize this function.
 If the firmware is not compatible with the DG-ID function, update the latest firmware to use
the DG-ID function. The latest firmware is available on the YAESU website.
Setting the transmit and receive DG-ID number to “00” for communicating
with all other stations using C4FM digital mode
1. Press and hold the [GM] key.
