28Using the convenient Digital C4FM featuresAbout the Digital Group ID (DG-ID) feature1. Digital Group ID (DG-ID) function allows using the two-digit ID numbers to commu-nicate only with specific group members. The desired DG-ID number from 00 to 99is set in advance by all the group members. This ID number may be set separatelyfor 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 maybe used to limit communication only to group members that have the same DG-IDnumber. The GM function may also be utilized to automatically monitor whetheror not group member stations with the same DG-ID number are operating withincommunication range.The DG-ID number 00 detects signals with all ID numbers. Normally setting the IDnumber to “00” for both transmit and receive will permit reception of the signals fromall other stations using the digital C4FM mode, regardless of the transmit DG-IDnumber settings of the other stations.Also note that when the receive DG-ID number of the transceiver is set to a DG-IDnumber other than “00”, received signals that do not have the same DG-ID numbermay not be heard.2. When accessing a C4FM digital repeater controlled by a DG-ID number, set thetransmit DG-ID number of the FT3DR/DE to that of the repeater input. Even in thatcase, if the receive DG-ID number of the FT3DR/DE is set to “00”, all the downlinksignals 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 orderto utilize this function.• If the firmware is not compatible with the DG-ID function, update to the latest firmware touse the DG-ID function.
