SETTING AS A DIGIPEATER
Q DIGIPEAT
Access Menu 3K0.
When using the TH-D72 as a digipeater, set whether or
not your call sign is included in the digipeated packet
path.
In the received packet path, if you have set your
call sign in “My Callsign” (Menu 300), the digipeat
completion flag (
) is added to your call sign and will
then process the relay. (For example, “JA1YKX” >
“JA1YKX ”.)
Q UICHECK
Access Menu 3L0.
This function will not relay a one-time received UI frame
within the set UICHECK time. This is effective for each of
UIDIGI, UIFOOD, and UITRACE.
UI frame (Unnumbered Information frame)
Data can be transferred and the APRS beacon, etc., can
be used without making a connection. UIDIGI, UIFLOOD,
and UITRACE are all specialized UI frame relay processing
modes.
Q UIDIGI
Access Menu 3M0
When using the TH-D72 as a digipeater, set whether or
not UI digipeat is run.
When receiving a UI frame that matches your entered
character string alias of the beginning part of the
packet path that has not yet been digipeated, the
digipeat completion flag (
) is added to your call sign
(the call sign you set up in MY CALLSIGN) and the
relay will begin processing. (For example “WIDE1-1” >
“JA1YKX ”, etc.)

the function ON, then press [ OK].

Q UIFLOOD
When using the TH-D72 as a digipeater, set whether or
not UIFLOOD digipeat runs.
When the received UI Frame character string matches
the entered alias (for example, CA), the number of
hops (for example, 2-2) is processed and decreased by
1 (for example, CA2-2 becomes CA2-1).

is already a call sign in the relayed UI frame, your
station call sign will replace the existing call sign.
NOID: The call sign is not embedded or replaced.
FIRST: When there is no call sign in the relayed
UI frame, your station call sign is embedded. When
there is already a call sign in the relayed UI frame,
the call sign is not embedded or replaced.
