Repeater Operation; Repeater Shifts; Automatic Repeater Shift (Ars) - Yaesu FT-252 Operating Manual

Repeater Operation

Repeater stations, usually located on mountaintops or other high locations, provide a
dramatic extension of the communication range for low-powered hand-held or mobile
transceivers. The FT-252 includes a number of features which make repeater operation
simple and enjoyable.
The FT-252 has been configured, at the factory, with the repeater shift set to 600 kHz.
Depending on the part of the band
in which you are operating, the re-
peater shift may be either downward
(–) or upward (+), and one of these
icons will appear at the top of the
LCD when repeater shifts have been
enabled.

Automatic Repeater Shift (ARS)

The FT-252 provides a convenient Automatic Repeater Shift feature, which causes the
appropriate repeater shift to be applied automatically whenever you tune into the desig-
nated repeater sub-bands in your country. These sub-bands are shown below.
If the ARS feature does not appear to be working, you may have accidentally disabled it.
To re-enable ARS:
1. Press the [ SET/ATS ] key to enter the Set mode.
