Repeater Operation; Repeater Shifts; Automatic Repeater Shift (Ars) - Yaesu FT-65R Operating Manual

Repeater Operation

Repeater stations are often located on mountaintops or other high locations,
and provide a dramatic extension of the communication range for low-pow-
ered hand-held or mobile transceivers. The FT-65R/E includes a number of
features which make repeater operation simple and enjoyable.

Repeater Shifts

The transceiver has been configured at the factory for the repeater shifts
customary in the sales destination country. For the 144 MHz band the re-
peater shift will be 0.6 MHz. On the 430 MHz band, the shift may be 1.6
MHz, 7.6 MHz, or 5 MHz (depending on the transceiver version).

Automatic Repeater Shift (ARS)

The FT-65R/E provides a convenient Automatic Repeater Shift feature, which
automatically applies the appropriate repeater frequency shift when tuning in
the repeater sub-bands of the designated country. The ARS setting options
are listed below:
