Repeater Operation; Repeater Shifts; Automatic Repeater Shift (Ars) - Yaesu CT-39A Operating Manual

Repeater stations, usually located on mountaintops or other high locations, provide a dra-
matic extension of the communication range for low-powered hand-held or mobile trans-
ceivers. The FT-8800R includes a number of features which make repeater operation simple
and enjoyable.
Your FT-8800R has been configured, at the factory, for the repeater shifts customary in
your country. While the 144 MHz shift will be 600 kHz; on 70 cm, the shift may be 1.6 MHz,
7.6 MHz, or 5 MHz (USA version).
Depending on the part of the band in which you are operating, the repeater shift may be
either downward (–) or upward (+), and one of these icons will appear at the bottom of the
LCD when repeater shifts have been enabled.

The FT-8800R provides a convenient Automatic Repeater Shift feature, which causes the
appropriate repeater shift to be automatically applied whenever you tune into the designated
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 ] key momentarily to enter the Set mode.
2. Rotate the "Main" band DIAL knob to select Menu #2 (ARS).
3. Press the "Main" band DIAL knob momentarily, then rotate the "Main" band DIAL knob
to change the setting to "ON" (to enable Automatic Repeater Shift).
4. Press and hold in the "Main" band DIAL knob for 1/2 second to save the new setting and
exit to normal operation.
