Remove all of the DSTAR option and set the mode to FM. When the radio says “off” when transmitting, that should have nothing to do with D-STAR, that’s a basic Repeater Offset issue.

I have Auto Repeater set to RPT1 and the right offset. I can hit the repeater if I dial it in manually, but if I used my programmed memory 0, i can hear people on the repeater/gateway, but when I key up the frequency still changes to say "OFF" and I don't transmit.

Or, on the radio make sure under "DUP/TONE" your offset frequency is set to the correct offset. The go into the "Menu", select "SET MODE", and set "AUTO REPEATER" to RPT1 . Then reprogram the memory channel. Without this RPT1 set this way you will get "OFF" in a memory channel for the offset.(see page 35 of the manual) Bob WB3W --- In dstar_digital@ yahoogroups. com</mc/compose?to=dstar_digital%40yahoogroups.com>, "Marlin" <imtheone2001@ ...> wrote: > > I just upgraded my IC-2200H to a IC-2820H.
