When you have made your selection, press the PTT switch to save the new setting and
return to normal operation.
R. F. Says: If you make a change in the shift direction, but still have Automatic Repeater Shift
still engaged (see previous section), when you change frequency (by rotating the DIAL knob,
for example) the ARS will over-ride your manual setting of the shift direction. Turn ARS off if
you do not wish this to happen.
Changing the Default Repeater Shifts
If you travel to a different region, you may need to change the default repeater shift so as to
ensure compatibility with local operating requirements.
To do this, follow the procedure below:
1.
Press the [F/W] key, then press the [0(SET)] key to enter the Set mode.
2.
Rotate the DIAL knob to select Set Mode Item 41: SHIFT.
3.
Press the [F/W] key momentarily to enable adjustment of this Item.
4.
Rotate the DIAL knob to select the new repeater shift magnitude.
5.
When you have made your selection, press the PTT switch to save the new setting and
return to normal operation.
R.F. Says: If you just have one "odd" split that you need to program, don't change the
"default" repeated shifts using this Set Mode Item. Enter the transmit and receive frequencies
separately, as shown on page ??.
Checking the Repeater Uplink (Input) Frequency
It often is helpful to be able to check the uplink (input) frequency of a repeater, to see if the
calling station is within direct ("Simplex") range.
To do this, just press the [REV(HOME)] key. You'll notice that the display has shifted to the
repeater uplink frequency. Press the [REV(HOME)] key again to cause operation to revert to
normal monitoring of the repeater downlink (output) frequency. While you are listening on the
input frequency to the repeater using the [REV(HOME)] key, the repeater offset icon will
blink.
R. F. Says: The configuration of this key may be set either to "RV" (for checking the input
frequency of a repeater), or "HM" (for instant switching to the "Home" channel for the band
you are operating on). To change the configuration of this key, use Set Mode Item 33:
REV/HM. See page 75.
