Transmitter Offset; Reverse Function - Kenwood TM-732A Instruction Manual

WM REPEATER OPERATION
1. Transmitter Offset
All amateur radio repeaters use a separate receive and
transmit frequency. The receive frequency may be
above or below the transmit frequency. The
configuration of most repeaters fall into one of the
categories listed below:
wane [ete] ie
band band
+ +600 kHz +5 MHz +H1.6 MHz
= —600 kHz —5 MHz —1.6 MHz
= z —7.6 MHz
® Offset Direction
To select the desired transmitter offset direction press
the SHIFT key. Each time you press the key the
transceiver advances from one direction to the other,
i.e. "+" to "—" ("—" to "— —" with European
versions) to no offset (simplex).
@ Automatic Offset (U.S.A., and Canada versions)
The TM-732A has been programmed according to the
standard ARRL (Amateur Radio Relay League) Band
Plan with regard to transmitter offset direction.
See the accompanying chart for additional information
about this programming. You can, of course, override
this by using the SHIFT key if desired.

2. Reverse Function
Some repeaters use a "Reverse Pair", i.e. the
a transmit frequency (INPUT) and 146.600 for a
receive frequency (OUTPUT). Repeater B might use
146.600 for a transmit frequency and 146.000 for a
receive frequency. It would be inconvenient to have to
reprogram the transceiver each time you wanted to
use these repeaters.
This function is also useful to check the input
frequency of the repeater so that you can determine if
you are within range for simpiex communications.
