HECKING THE
It often is helpful to be able to check the uplink (input) frequency of a repeater, to see if the
calling station is within direct ("Simplex") range.
To do this, just press the [ REV ( DW )] key. You'll notice that the display has shifted to the
repeater uplink frequency. Press the [ REV ( DW )] key again to cause operation to revert to
normal monitoring of the repeater downlink (output) frequency. While you are listening on
the input frequency to the repeater using the [ REV ( DW )] key, the repeater offset icon will
blink.
