Repeaters, which are often installed and maintained by
radio clubs, are usually located on mountain tops or
other elevated locations. They generally operate at
higher ERP (Effective Radiated Power) than a typical
station. This combination of elevation and high ERP
allows communications over much greater distances
than communicating without using repeaters.
Most repeaters use a receive and transmit frequency
pair with a standard or non-standard offset (odd-split).
In addition, some repeaters must receive a tone from the
transceiver to be accessed. For details, consult your
local repeater reference.

OFFSET PROGRAMMING FLOW
q
Select a receive frequency.
w
Select an offset direction.
e
Select an offset frequency
(only when programming odd-split
repeater frequencies).
r
Activate the Tone function
(if necessary).
t
Select a tone frequency
(if necessary).
If you store all the above data in a Memory Channel, you
will not need to reprogram the parameters every time.
