Yaesu DR-2XE
C4FM/FM Heavy Duty Digital Dual Band Dual Reception Repeater 144/430 MHz
The Yaesu DR-2X is a C4FM digital/conventional FM dual mode, dual reception repeater covering the VHF and UHF amateur radio bands. The DR-2X integrates the use of conventional FM communications with C4FM digital communications thanks to its exclusive AMS function.

DR-2X Functions
• Modulation Modes: Conventional FM, C4FM Digital
• The AMS (Automatic Mode Select) function automatically recognizes the received signal as C4FM digital or conventional FM
• 3.5-inch Color Touch Panel
• High RF Output Power, Extremely Reliable: 50W/20W/5W
• Microphone connector on the front panel is provided for repeater transmitter testing and allows use as a base station
• Advanced Functions: The control I/O port on the rear panel allows connection to the “S-COM 7330” repeater controller (controls up to three (3) DR-2X units)

Exclusive DR-2X Functions:
• Dual Reception Function
• Enhanced “News Station” function that allows sharing voice and text messages with members
• Group Monitor function that simplifies group setup
• Stable and high output power with large heat sink
• Commercial-grade components for reliable long-term operation
• IMRS (Internet-linked Multi-site Repeater System) function for simple wide-area coverage via Internet (option)

C4FM offers excellent audio quality and reliable communications
C4FM modulation has better BER (Bit Error Rate) characteristics than other digital modulation systems and ensures reliable communications. YAESU Digital Clear Voice technology for C4FM uses a 12.5 kHz bandwidth which enables high-quality voice communications.

FM compatibility for digital communications with AMS (Automatic Mode Select)
System Fusion allows connectivity between all users operating in different modes. In System Fusion, this is made possible by AMS. The AMS function automatically recognizes the signal as C4FM digital or conventional FM, then the DR-2X retransmits it in the preset communication mode.

The dual reception function ensures flexible operation
The unique DR-2X simultaneous dual reception repeater allows the control operator to assign an additional frequency for repeater control, emergency message transmission, or for a simple second uplink frequency. The control operator can also assign separate downlink frequencies based on the uplink frequencies.

Group Monitor Function
Yaesu's revolutionary Group Monitor function allows for quick and efficient tracking of numerous resources, displaying telemetry and signal strength data of members sharing the same Digital Group ID.

Enhanced “News Station” function
Groups or individual users can quickly store and retrieve digital audio and text messages. Users can access messages on demand, at any time of day.

Simple setup (3.5-inch Color Touch Panel Display)

The IMRS (Internet-linked Multi-site Repeater System) allows the repeater operator to link multiple repeaters to a WAN (Wide-Area-Network) or a LAN (Local-Area-Network). Due to the reliability shortcomings of WAN (Wide Area Network) links, such as the internet, the DR-2X integrates direct connectivity between repeaters, offering a wide variety of network environments and ensuring high-quality digital and analog communications, even where any other solution proves inadequate.

Advanced Features
The control I/O port on the rear panel can be connected to the “S-COM 7330” repeater controller. This controller can manage up to three (3) DR-2X units, offering programmable beep control, timers, access modes, and other functions.
