I General

Repeaters allow you to extend the operatable range, and also
to cover blind zones. Because a repeater has much higher
output power than the typical transceiver, and has a wider
coverage area.
Normally, a repeater has independent frequency for each re-
ceive and transmit, and a subaudible tone may be required
to accessing a repeater.
Refer to an amateur radio handbook or a ham magazine for
details of local FM repeater, such as repeater input/output fre-
quencies and location.
Repeater example;
Receives the 1269.975 MHz signal
and the detected audio signals are
transmitted on 1289.975 MHz simul-
taneously.
Station A:
Tx: 1269.975 MHz
Rx: 1289.975 MHz
Station B:
Tx: 1269.975 MHz
Rx: 1289.975 MHz
REPEATER OPERATION— VOICE
D D Repeater operation flow chart
Step 1:
Set the desired operating mode.
Step 2:
Set the desired receive frequency (repeater output frequency).
Step 3:
Set the duplex (shift) direction (–duplex or +duplex).
- Set the offset frequency (shift value), if required.
Step 4 for FM mode:
Set the subaudible tone (repeater tone) encoder
function ON.
- Set the subaudible tone frequency, if required.
Step 4 for Digital voice mode:
Set the desired repeater call sign.
- Set the desired linked repeater call sign, if required.
• The ID-1 USA version has the auto repeater function. Thus the step 3
(and 4 in FM mode) may not be necessary, depending on the setting.
• Repeater settings can be stored into a memory channel.
