DR-2X/XE New Features

• Dual Frequency Operation (DRDT)
• MSRL (Multi-site repeater link) Function for Easy Coverage Expansion using optional module
• New and improved “News Station” feature for Easy sharing of voice and text messaging.
• Enhanced Group Monitor Feature for Easy Grouping Set-up (DG-ID, DP-ID)

User Friendly Set-Up

The large front panel, color touch-screen permits convenient configuration of the transmitter and receiver frequencies, transmit power output and AMS functions. When the settings are complete the display can be switched off to prevent accidental operation. Simply turn the display switch ON and use the touch panel screen to confirm or change settings. The transmit and receive frequencies, CTCSS tones, squelch, AMS, and other functions are configured by the touch panel screen

Enhanced Group Monitor Feature

Yaesu’s revolutionary Group Monitor feature allows you to track multiple resources quickly and efficiently by displaying telemetry and signal strength information of other group members that share the same Digital Group Identification number.

Dual Receive / Dual Transmit (DRDT)

The unique Receiver, Transmitter and controller combination in the DR-2X/DR-2XE allows the control operator to assign up to two frequency pairs per repeater. This feature enables two separate dual-band inputs and outputs per single DR-2X/DR-2XE repeater, allowing even more methods of access.

MSRL (Multi-site Repeater Link)

The MSRL (Multi Site Repeater Link) allows the repeater operator to link multiple repeaters over a Wide-Area-Network (WAN) or Local-area-network (LAN) across short or long distances. Realizing the reliability shortcomings inherent with WAN (Wide Area Networking) such as the internet, the new DR-2X/DR-2XE incorporates direct connectivity into a variety of networking environments to provide high quality Digital and Analog communications even when “All Else Fails” .

New and Improved News Station Function

Quickly store and retrieve digital audio and text messages for groups or individual operators that can be accessed on demand, any time of the day (* Requires Optional MSRL module).
