Switching Between Repeater or Direct
Operation Button
The Repeater Operation increases the radio's range
by connecting with other radios through a repeater.
The transmit and receive frequencies are different.
The Direct or "talkaround operation" allows you to
bypass the repeater and connect directly to another
radio. The transmit and receive frequencies are the
same.
The display shows Repeater mode if the radio is
currently in Repeater mode.
The display shows Direct mode and the Talkaround
icon if the radio is currently in Direct mode (during
conventional operation only).

Monitor Feature

Radio users who switch from analog to digital radios
often assume that the lack of static on a digital
channel is an indication that the radio is not working
properly. This is not the case.
This digital technology quiets the transmission by
removing the noise from the signal and allows only
the clear voice or data information to be heard.
Use the Monitor feature to make sure a channel is
clear before transmitting.
Perform one of the following actions:
• Press the preprogrammed Repeater/Direct
switch to toggle between talkaround and
repeater modes.
•
or to Dir and press the Menu Select
button directly below Dir.
