Repeater Operation

Communicating Via the Repeater

FTM-400DR supports an ARS (Automatic Repeater Shift) function which allows you
to perform communication automatically just by setting the reception frequency to the
repeater frequency (439.000 to 440.000 MHz).
1
Set the reception frequency to repeater frequency.
2
Perform transmission while pressing [PTT].
During transmission, a 88.5Hz tone signal and a
radio wave whose frequency is 5 MHz lower than the
reception frequency are emitted.
Reference
• Pressing F and then taping [REV] produces the "reverse" state where the transmission
frequency and the reception frequency are temporarily reversed, allowing you to check whether you
can communicate with the remote station directly.
• The [ ] on the display blinks while in the "REVERSE" state.
• Pressing F then tapping [REV] again cancels the "REVERSE" state.
• Press and hold M over 1 second to change the Setup Menu. This allows you to use the repeater
more conveniently.
[CONFIG] → [4 AUTO RPT SHIFT] You can deactivate the ARS function.
[CONFIG] → [5 RPT SHIFT] You can set the repeater shift direction.
[CONFIG] → [6 RPT SHIFT FREQ] You can change the repeater shift step.
Communicating Via the Repeater Using a Tone Signal Other Than
the 88.5Hz Tone Signal
1
Set the reception frequency to repeater frequency.
2
Press and hold M over 1 second.
3
Tap [CONFIG].
4
Tap [5 RPT SHIFT] and select [–].
Switches between [OFF] → [–] → [+] each time [5 RPT SHIFT] is tapped.
Reference • Factory Setting: OFF
5
Tap [6 RPT SHIFT FREQ].
The frequency appears in orange.
6
Set frequency with O.
Rotate the O and select the desired tone frequency.
7
Tap [6 RPT SHIFT FREQ].
The selected frequency will change from orange to green and be applied as the
current setting.
• Frequency can also be selected by pressing the O.
