extend transmit coverage to include 2-Meter ham, MARS (Military Ama-
teur Radio Service), and CAP (Civil Air Patrol).
Dual VFO (Variable-Frequency Oscillator) and Duplex Modes— two inde-
pendent VFOs let you quickly select between two directly-entered fre-

and the other as a repeater output frequency for odd-split repeaters.
