Repeater Operation; Dchecking The Repeater Input Signal - Icom IC-705 Advanced Manual

2. ADVANCED OPERATIONS

Repeater operation

A repeater receives your transceiver's signals
and simultaneously retransmits them on
a different frequency to provide a greater
communication range.
When using a repeater, the transmit frequency
shifts from the receive frequency by an offset
amount. You can access a repeater using the
split function.
1. Select the VFO mode.
2. Set the operating mode to "FM."
3. Set the receive frequency (Repeater output
frequency).
For only the USA version:
When the Auto Repeater function is turned
ON, steps 4 and 5 are not necessary. The Auto
Repeater function automatically sets the repeater
settings (duplex ON/OFF, duplex direction, tone
encoder ON/OFF).
LYou can turn OFF the function and manually
set the repeater settings.
» SET > Function > Auto Repeater
4. Set the Duplex direction and frequency offset.
LSee page 2-17 for setting details.
5. Turn ON the repeater tone, and set the
repeater tone frequency.
LSee page 2-16 for setting details.
6. Communicate in a normal way.
• Subaudible tones are superimposed on your
transmit signal.
TIP: To access a repeater using the DR
function, see Section 13 for details.

DChecking the repeater input signal

You can check whether or not you can directly
receive another station's transmit signal, by
listening to the repeater input frequency.
LWhile listening, the TX/RX indicator lights green,
and then the Noise Reduction and Notch Filter
settings are canceled.
While receiving, hold down
repeater input frequency.
