Yaesu DR-1 a $500.00 Digital/FM Dual Mode Repeater, Not D-STAR Compatible!

Yaesu introduces “System Fusion” for C4FM 12.5 kHz Digital & DR-1 a $500.00 Digital/FM Dual Mode Repeater, Not D-STAR Compatible!

Yaesu DR-1 a new Digiatl C4FM and Analog FM Multi Mode Repeater with AMS (Automatic Mode Select) – Yaesu introduces the System Fusion joins FDMA Digital and Analog FM Communication into a single multiple function system. It provides total integration and compatibility of both Digital & Conventional Analog FM communication – And the latest VoIP interface, the new wireless WIRES-X a Internet Linking HRI-200, will also be available in Nov., 2013. !! The Yaesu FDMA “C4FM” system is not compatible with the D-STAR “GMSK” Digital mode. !! (one only has to look at Yeasu’s record of going against the tide ! 

The DR-1 Repeater C4FM/Analog FM and AMS – FM Friendly Digital – Easy Migration – Yesu writhes: Replace your Conventional Analog FM repeater to: 1) provide continued use of Conventional Analog FM communication 2) while integrating the use of Digital Communication functions. – Modulation Mode: 25kHz for FM & 12.5kHz fot C4FM Multiple mode. – Ouypuy Power 50W/25W/10W Large-size Heat-Sink & Cooling Fan builtin. – (please click pictures to enlarg!)

Yaesu “System Fusion” : System Fusion joins Digital and Analog FM Communication into a single multiple function system. – It provides total integration and compatibility of both Digital & Conventional Analog FM communication.

The AMS (Automatic Mode Select) function that instantly detects the received signal mode (AMS automatically recognizes hether the siganal is a C4FM digital or analog FM signal, and transmits using the set communication method by DR-1 setup).

 
Multi Mode FDMA/C4FM – FM – Bandwidth 6.25+6.25 kHz or 12.5 kHz – provides 9.6 kbps data baud rate speed! ability to transfer large amounts of data! – The D-STAR DV provides 4.8 kbps into a only 6 kHz bandwidth! – Yaesu FDMA multi mode:

1) V/D mode – Voice/Data simultaneous communication mode; 2) Voice FR Mode – Voice Full Rate Mode; 3) Data FR mode – High Speed Data Communication Mode; 4) Analog FM mode – (conventional Analog FM). (see the picture)

In the world we developed IRLP and Echolink. Yaesu went against IRLP and Echolink and created WIRES-II – (latest -X) HRI-200 … This commercial stuff fits 2 voice/data channels into one repeater DR-1. Yup, but at twice the bandwidth of D-STAR! … Yaesu is coming out with “DMR” radios soon, but Motorola, Hytera, Vertex, Icom and Kenwood already exist .. Mototrbo – dPMR – IDAS – NEXDGE – (DMR FDMA & TDMA is an open ETSI standard) – There are advantages and disadvantages to most new technologies, but it’s often the case that the supposed benefits are just that, supposed !! (identically allows us to compare FM and D-STAR etc.).

italianoLa Yaesu Musen Co., LTD ha svelato ora la sua nuova piattaforma digitale definita “System Fusion” multimodo, presentando anche il suo Yaesu DR-1 che può essere configurato per consentire di “fondere” i due modi con selezione automatica (AMS) del tipo di modulazione. – Questo permette, dice Yaesu, l’integrazione tra la tradizionale FM e il digitale C4FM, un FDMA già noto come “DMR” in uso da tempo nel commerciale da parte di quasi tutti i produttori di radio! (..Motorola, Hytera, Vertex, Icom e Kenwood già producono con il DRM e alcune variabili proprie… come: Mototrbo – dPMR -IDAS – NEXDGE etc. (il DMR, FDMA & TDMA è un sistema aperto in Standar ETSI) -

Here sopta images of vehicular FTM-400D (USA) or FTM-400E (EU) - However we see several innovations introduced with the system Yaesu to 12.5 kHz channel leads up to 9.6 kbps the "data baud rate speed" skills that the transfer of a higher mass of data! - The D-STAR DV standard has 4.8 kbps, but only about 6 kHz BW channel. - That the C4FM will sound better even for the fastest-FEC BER - Another good difference: with the use of repeater DR-1, a user with new digital equipment can transmit in digital repeater DR-1 converts C4FM digital signal in analog FM to other users with devices not digital, and vice versa (this is the "fusion"!) - the repeater can be configured (in AMS - FIX or AUTO) via a touch-screen directly from the front panel.

[Note] Yaesu is almost always counter-Hi!

In amateur radio has been well established standard IRLP and EchoLink, they have introduced the VoIP interface for wireless Internet called WIRES-X (Ver. I / II / X ..); - Then with already more than 1,000 D-STAR repeaters in "GSMK" active in the world and connected with Gatewai in various internet networks already developed exclusively by radio amateurs, Yaesu introduces a "DMR" digital is always in standard FDMA, however, with modulation "G4FM "(4xFSK) and 12.5 kHz BW, not compatible with the D-STAR! - It will be a new game to trade issues or really an innovation for the Radioamtori? Wait and you will see. - Always we find advantages and disadvantages for most of the new technologies, but often the case that the alleged benefits are only supposed! (It could also be good for the comparison between modes FM and D-STAR, sure!).
