===== Recommended configuration of the DR-1X repeater =====

Unfortunately, the DR1-X repeater does not offer a LAN interface to be able to be connected directly to a network. Furthermore, its internal repeater control does not support DG-ID (System Fusion II).\\
\\
However, the DR1-X with its [Control I/O] connector offers the option of using an external repeater control, for example an MMDVM modem. //**(Attention: DR1-XFR not supportet)**//\\
This expansion can be carried out without interfering with the repeater hardware and turns the DR1-X into a full-fledged mmdvm repeater, which now also supports DG-ID (System Fusion II) and can be connected directly to a YCS server.\\
\\
\\
==== Required components ====
very good experiences have been made with the following hardware:\\

  * Raspberry Pi 4B
  * Repeater-Builder STM32_DVM_USB (MMDVM-Board)
    * [[http://www.repeater-builder.com/products/stm32-dvm.html]]
  * pistar-ea by Manuel EA7EE  (//**DG-ID FULLY SUPPORTED**//)
    * [[http://pistar.c4fm.es/]]
\\
required parts for the connection cable:\\
  * 15pin D-Sub connector (male)  //(for connection to DR1-X [CONTROL I/O] connector)//
  * 9pin D-Sub connector (male)  //(for connection to STM_DVM_USB MMDVM-Board)//
  * piece of well-shielded cable

//Please do not use a VGA screen cable, as not all of the required connections are usually contacted here.//

==== Configuration of DR1-X ====


  * Set **"UP LINK"** to **Packet Speed 9600bps**
  * Set **"Deviation"** to **WIDE**
  * Set **"Remote Operation"** to **ON**
