FM Repeater Operation
Several features are available for operation
on FM repeaters above 29 MHz which use
100-kHz splits.
-BO locate these repeaters, you can ask
around the calling channel (29.6 MHz), or
you may want to load a block of memory
channels (see page 47) with 50-kHz fre-
quency multiples from 29.61 to 29.7 MHz
(and FM mode, of course). Then set the
squelch so that the receiver is silent on a
clear channel, and hold the microhone
UP/DWN
keys to scan the memories.
Repeater Shift
-
When you find a repeater,
press the
RPT
button, once for "-" shift (to
transmit 100 kHz below your receiving fre-
quency). Pressing it again will select
"+"
shift, but this is not used above 29.6 MHz.
Press it once more to return to simplex. Try
a quick identification transmission to make
sure you have the shift right.
Repeater T X Offset- For repeaters not using
the standard 100 kHz offfset, you can
change the default offset between 0
-
200
kHz via menu selection 6-9.
CTCSS Tone - A low-level 88.5-Hz
subaudible tone is transmitted to access
closed repeaters. Should a different CTCSS
tone be required, you can choose any one
of 33 standard tones via menu selection 6-7.
Tone Duration
-
Continuous or burst CTCSS
tone transmission is enabled from menu se-
lection 6-8.

Operation
All you need to do is set the
METER
selector to
the
PO
position, and adjust the
RF PWR
control for
the desired output while transmitting. If you need
full power, keep your transmissions to three min-
utes or less, with the same time for reception.

You can use the VOX circuit for t/r switching, if
desired, and the transmit monitor to listen to your
signal. See also the FM Repeater Operation box.

The three
CLAR
buttons near the lower right
corner of the front panel, and the control just
above them, are used to
CLAR
offset either the receive,
transmit, or both frequen-
cies from their settings on
the main display. The
three small numbers in the
0
center of the display (just
to the right of the main fre-
ntjn
I?x
TX CLEAR
quency display) show the current clarifier offset
(this can be changed, however, to display other
settings - see the following page). The clarifier
controls on the FT-1000MP are designed to allow
you to preset an offset (up to k9.99 kHz) without
actually retuning, and then to activate it with the
clarifier's
RX
and
TX
buttons.
Perform the following steps, if you like, to familiar-
ize yourself with the clarifier controls:
0
Without pressing any of the clarifier buttons,
rotate the
CLAR
knob back and forth while
watching the small center display. Notice that
the small digits change, indicating the preset
clarifier offset (which hasn't been applied to the
Tx or Rx frequency yet) while the main display
remains unchanged.
0
if you press the clarifier
TX
button,
-m
appears below the smaller offset display, and if
you press the PTT you will see the Tx frequency
shift by the amount of clarifier offset.
Cl
If you press RX instead, notice that
m-
appears and the frequency offset is applied and
the display shifts to the offset receive frequency
accordingly. Press the PTT switch, and notice
that the transmit frequency remains the same
as the original frequency display when the re-
ceive clarifier is on.You can reset the offset to
0.00 kHz at any time by simply pressing
CLEAR.
0 With the RX clarifier active, the center tuning
marker just above the main frequency display
moves to the right or left as you change the
offset by rotating the
cLAR
knob. Also notice
that the main frequency and the clarifier offset
displays change together,
