REPEATER AND DUPLEX OPERATIONS
FM Repeater operation
A Repeater receives signals and on one frequency,
and then retransmits them on a different frequency
When using a Repeater, the transmit frequency is
shifted from the receive frequency by a frequency
offset
A Repeater can be accessed using the Duplex
function by setting the transceiver's offset to the same
value as the Repeater's offset
See Section 4 for details on accessing a D-STAR
Repeater
Station A
RX: 447540 MHz
TX: 442540 MHz
D Setting the Repeater frequency
1 Push [V/MHz] to enter the VFO mode
2 Push [FM/DV] to select the FM mode
3 Rotate [DIAL] to set the frequency received from a
Repeater
4 Set the offset frequency and the Duplex direction
(p 10-4)
• The Duplex icon is displayed
TIP: For only the USA version
The Auto Repeater function (p 10-5)
automatically sets the Repeater settings When
the function is ON, this step can be skipped

5 Set the Repeater tone (Default: 885 Hz)
(MENU > DUP/TONE > Repeater Tone)
(P 11-4)
6 Push [MENU] to return to the standby screen
7 Push [QUICK]
8 Select "TONE" and turn ON the Repeater Tone
• The TONE icon is displayed
9 Hold down [PTT] for 2 seconds
• If your transmit signal reached the Repeater, after
releasing [PTT], you can hear the Repeater's call sign
in morse codes or its announcement
Accessing
a Repeater

10 Operate in the same way as a simplex call,
alternately transmit and receive

Transmit frequency
TIP:
• When the Repeater tone frequency or the
frequency offset is changed, the tone or offset for
Auto Repeater function is also changed
• If the offset value causes the transmit frequency
to be out of the band, "OFF BAND" is displayed
on the display when you push [PTT], and transmit
is inhibited (p 10-5)
• To access a D-STAR Repeater, see BASIC
