Operation As A Repeater - Kenwood TM-732A Instruction Manual

12. Operation as a Repeater (U.S.A., CANADA versions only)
This transceiver is capable of operating as a repeater.
There are two different repeater modes possible:
® Cross-Band Repeat Mode
The transceiver listens on both bands simultaneously.
As soon as a Signal is received on one band, the
other shifts from receive to transmit and re-transmits
the incoming signal.
1. Select the operating frequencies and adjust the
squelch controls to threshold.
2. You may want to set the Time-Out Timer to 3
minutes to protect the transmitter.
3. Press the BAND SEL key of one band and then
press the C.SEL key to select the other band.
4. To turn the REPEATER CROSS-BAND function on
or off, press the F key for longer than one second
and then press the MUTE/ABC key.
Three dots(.) will light in the display.
® Fixed Band Repeat Mode
This is a one way repeat operation. One band is
dedicated to transmit and the other band is dedicated
to receive.
1. Repeat the steps listed above, but do not press the
C.SEL key. The band dedicated to transmit is
selected with the BAND SEL key.
Notes
1. Combinations of SHIFT and CTCSS can be used in
the Repeater Cross-Band mode. DTSS and PAGING
will not work in this mode.
2. You must select Cross Band Repeat or In Band
Repeat before using Remote Control function.
CAUTION a
This equipment can be extremely susceptible to
lightening strike damage or intermodulation
distortion if it is operated on mountain top
locations.
Hang Time Selection
The amount of time that the transceiver will remain
keyed after the incoming signal has dropped out is
known as the Hang time. This prevents the repeater
function from returning to receive on momentary signal
dropouts. The factory default is 500ms. You can turn
the function OFF using the following procedure:
First make sure the radio in the repeater mode. Press
and hold the F key for longer than one second, then
within 10 seconds press the CALL key. To switch back
to 500 ms repeat this procedure.
