These 3 settings are required for D-star to work properly. Here is what each of these are:

D-Star

• URCALL: The command or linking / routing information
  • CQCQCQ: For talking on the local repeater and/or going out to the connected reflector
  • REFxxxL: command to link the local repeater to REFxxx.
  • I: Get info like where the repeater is connected, etc
  • U: Unlink local repeater from wherever it is connected to.
• CALL1: This is the callsign of the repeater and module that you are trying to talk to.
  • There are some special formatting needed for this:
    • Callsign must be 6 characters long. If you callsign is not 6 characters long, fill up the additional characters with spaces.
    • There must be a single space between the callsign and module.
    • The module is a single uppercase character
  • Modules are in most if not all cases:
    • A – 1.2 Ghz Voice
    • B – 440 Mhz Voice
    • C – 144 Mhz Voice
• CALL2: This is the callsign of the gateway you are trying to connect through. In most cases the callsign of the gateway is the same as the repeater.
  • Similarly to CALL1 this has the same special format of 6 characters for callsign, a space and a single character that is always G for gateway.
