REPEATERS AND TALK AROUND
Repeaters
Some of the channels in your radio may be programmed
for operation through a repeater system. The repeater is
a transmitter/receiver system installed in a high location.
It is used to increase the range of your radio by receiving
your calls and automatically re-transmitting them. Because
your receiver and transmitter will be operating on different
channels, you will not be able to talk directly to another
radio except through the repeater.
Talk-Around
The Talk-Around feature is designed to overcome the
problem of not being able to talk directly to another radio
when a repeater channel is selected. It may be necessary
to talk directly to another radio when you are out of range
of the repeater. Instead of being isolated and not able to
communicate, you can press the TaLk-arOund key
(if programmed) to force the radio to transmit and receive
on the same channel. This will allow you to talk to other
radios within direct range of your radio. Of course, the radio
you want to talk to must also select TALK-AroUND if they
want to talk back to you.
Note: The distance over which you can communicate will
be much less than it would be through the repeater.
To select Talk-Around:
Briefly press the TaLk-arOund key. A high beep will be
heard and 'T/A' will appear on the display. you can now talk
to the other radio in the usual way.
