Introduction Features of this repeater Congratulations on your purchase of the DR-1X Yaesu 144/430MHz Dual Band Dual Receive C4FM/FM Digital Repeater. The YAESU DR-1X is a C4FM digital / analog FM dual mode repeater that covers the VHF and UHF amateur radio bands. DR-1X incorporates the use of Analog FM communication integrated with the C4FM digital communication through its unique AMS capability. r r r r r The Dual-band repeater is equipped with the VHF and the UHF Amateur radio bands.
WARNING Do not use voltages other than the specified power supply voltage. Doing so may result in fire and electric shock. Do not transmit continuously for long periods of time. This may cause the temperature of the main body to rise and result in burns and failures due to overheating. Do not dismantle or modify the device. This may result in injury, electric shock and equipment failure. When smoke or strange odors are emitted from the radio, turn off the power and disconnect the power cord from the socket.
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.
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. 2 Plug in the terminal of the coaxial cable connected to the antenna into the jack of the duplexer, and turn to tighten.
Connecting the Power Supply Connection for DR-1X (US and Asian versions) zz Main power Use an AC outlet capable of supplying AC 100-240V at 50 or 60Hz. 1 Insert the socket of the provided AC power cord into the AC IN jack at the rear of the repeater. 2 Insert the plug of the provided AC power cord into the AC outlet. zz Backup power For uninterrupted operation during power failures, a 13.
Connection for DR-1XE (European and Australian versions) Follow the outline in the illustration regarding the proper connection for the required External Power Supply. The DC power connector for the DR-1XE must only be connected to a DC source providing 13.8V DC (±15 %), and capable of at least 10A of current. Always observe proper polarity when making DC connection. Make sure to switch OFF the power of the external power source before connecting.

Cooling fan RX Antenna Terminal (N-type connector, 50 ohms) Connect to the receiving antenna (uplink) with the coaxial cable. FUSE Holder (15A/ 32V) A 15A fuse for the DC power supply through the BACKUP / DC IN jack is attached.
1. Initial set up Turn the power on 1 Press the POWER switch. The power will be switched ON, and the power supply monitor (LED indicator) will illuminate. zzWhen the power is supplied from the AC IN jack, the indicator illuminates in green (DR-1X only). zzWhen the power is supplied through the BACKUP terminals / DC IN terminal (13.8V DC), the indicator illuminates in red. The operation mode screen will appear on the display.
2. Set up Operation Mode When the Power Switch is turned ON, Operation Mode screen appears. This screen is for normal operation. The DR-1X could be set up with two frequencies for the uplink and the downlink and also different operation modes for each frequency. RX (uplink) TX (downlink) REMOTE To receive Analog FM and Digital C4FM signals simultaneously, set RX to [AUTO] mode.

4. Set up Other Functions Adjusting the squelch level zzWhen the squelch level is set to “open” the repeater will transmit, so the TX output must be connected to the duplexer and antenna. zzUse 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.
5. Base mode operation The repeater can be used as a VHF/UHF base station by connecting an optional MH-48A6JA or MH-42C6J microphone to the “MIC” jack on the front panel.
6. Set up DG-ID Number Digital Group Identification (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.
5 Touch [Group Name] twice. The character input screen appears. Group 4 DG-ID >50 DG-ID Group Name 6 Input the name to be registered to the DR-1X repeater. Up to 10 characters may be input. 7 Touch [ENT]. The input characters are registered and operation returns to the group setting screen. 8 Touch [BACK] 4 times. The screen returns to the operation mode screen.
7. Set up DP-ID Digital Personal Identification (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.
Delete the registered DP-ID 1 Touch [SETUP] or [B SETUP] to display the frequency set up screen, then touch [F] on the bottom of the screen. SETUP Ver.1.xxx EXP A1 2 Touch [ID MODE] to select the “DP-ID”. UP LINK Touching [ID MODE] switches the setting as follows: à “DP-ID” à “DG-ID” à “DP-ID” à The DP-ID display returns to the DG-ID display in about 5 seconds.
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.
C4FM DIGITAL CONTROL •• Set the operation mode to “AUTO” or “FIX NORMAL”. •• The transceivers compatible with the remote-control are the FTM-400D, FTM-100D, FTM-3200D and FTM3207D. •• Remote control with C4FM digital can be done only when the transceiver DP-ID has been registered to the DR-1X in advance. Remote operation cannot be performed with a transceiver when the DP-ID has not been registered, so you can securely manage repeaters.
