The Repeater operation will be memorized indepen-
dently on each VFO stack of the VFO-A and VFO-B.
The conventional repeater shift used on 29 MHz is 100
kHz, while on the 50 MHz band the shift may vary
between 500 kHz and 1.7 MHz (or more). To program
the proper repeater shift, use Menu items "057 F3E
28 RPT" (28 MHz) and "058 F3E 50 RPT
28 RPT 28 RPT
28 RPT 28 RPT
MHz), as appropriate.
