Advice
The conventional repeater shift used on 29 MHz is 100
kHz, while on the 50 MHz band the shift may vary be-
tween 500 kHz and 1.7 kHz (or more). To program the
proper repeater shift, use Menu items [
RPT SHIFT (28 MHz)
] and [
SHIFT (50 MHz) ], as appropriate.
You may also use "Tone Squelch" whereby your receiver will be kept silent until an incoming signal bearing a matching
CTCSS tone is receiver. Your receiver's squelch will then open in response to the reception of the required tone.
