Repeater Operation; Dial Lock Function - Icom IC-756 Instruction Manual

Repeater operation

A repeater amplifies received signals and retransmits
them at a different frequency. When using a repeater,
the transmit frequency is shifted from the receive fre-
quency by an offset frequency. A repeater can be ac-
cessed using split frequency operation with the shift
frequency set to the repeater's offset frequency.
NOTE: For accessing a repeater which requires a
subaudible tone, set the subaudible tone frequency
in set mode. Refer to p. 57.
q Set the offset frequencies (HF, 50 MHz) and turn
ON the quick split function in set mode in advance.
w Push [VFO/MEMO] to select VFO mode.

e Push the desired band key.
r Push [FM] to select FM mode.
t Set the receive frequency (repeater output fre-
quency).

- Shifted transmit frequency and
readout.
- The transmit frequency can be monitored while push-
ing [XFC] or using dualwatch.
