REPEATER OPERATION
I. Press the [FUNC] key, as needed, to select Operating Function Row 2 [V>M, M>V,
RPT, REV].
2. Press the [C](RPT) key to activate repeater operation. Pressing the [C](RPT) key causes
two important functions to become activated:
o
The transmitter frequency will be shifted by a default value so as to access the
repeater input frequency;
o
A repeater access tone will be superimposed on your signal, as many repeaters on
these bands use CTCSS to prevent false activation of the repeater by random noise.
3. If the default repeater shifts and/or access tone are not appropriate for your area, they
may be set independently for each band. The
MENU
selections which pertain to these
functions are shown below.
o
To set the CTCSS Tone, use MENU #12 (TONE FREQ).
o
To set the 29 MHz repeater shift, use MENU #40 (HF RPT SHIFT). See page 91.
o
To set the 50 MHz repeater shift, use MENU #41 (50 RPT SHIFT). See page 91.
o
To set the 144 MHz repeater shift, use MENU #42 (144 RPT SHIFT). See page 91.
o
To set the 430 MHz repeater shift, use MENU #43 (430 RPT SHIFT). See page 91.
4. One press of the [C](RPT) key will have set the FT-I 00 for "Minus Shift" operation. In
this situation, you will observe the "RP-" indicator on the display. If your repeater uses
a positive shift (instead of negative), press the [C](RPT) key again; the "RP+" indica-
tor will replace the "RP-" indicator on the display.
5. Set the FT -I OO's receiver to the repeater output (downlink) frequency.
6. Close the
PTT
switch and speak into the microphone. You will observe that the trans-
mitted frequency has shifted according to the setting of the [C](RPT) key.
7. Release the
PTT
switch to return to the RECEIVE mode.
8. With repeater shift activated, you can temporarily reverse the transmit and receive
frequencies by pressing the [D](REV) key. The "RP-" icon will blinks while "Reverse"
shift is activated. Press the [D](REV) key again to revert to the "Normaf' shift direc-
tion.
9. On many transceiver versions, the Automatic Repeater Shift (ARS) feature is enabled
at the factory. This feature automatically activates the appropriate repeater shift when
you are operating inside the designated 144 MHz or 430 MHz FM repeater sub-bands
in your country. If you wish to change the settings for the ARS, use MENU #44 (144
ARS) or MENU #45 (430 ARS) (see page 92).

'.; If your local repeaters need a 1750-Hz burst tOile for access (typically ill Eu-
[B rope), press al1d hold the [HOME] key to trallsmit the burst tOile.
