REPEATER AND DUPLEX OPERATIONS

■ FM Repeater operation

A repeater receives transmitted signals and retransmits
them on a different frequency. The transmit frequency
is shifted from the receive frequency by a preset fre-
quency offset.
In duplex operation, the transceiver's frequency offset
is set to the same as that of the repeater. (p. 16-16)
Push [V/MHz] to select the VFO mode.

Rotate [DIAL] to set the receive frequency (repeater
e

• The frequency changes according to the preset tuning
steps. See the page 5-6 for details.
Only USA and Korean versions have an Auto
Repeater function:
When the function is turned ON, steps r and t
are not necessary.*
