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:

repeater settings�
» SET > Function > Auto Repeater
