Repeater Operation; Repeater Shifts; Automatic Repeater Shift (Ars) - Yaesu FT-270R Operating Manual

Repeater stations, usually located on mountaintops or other high locations, provide a
dramatic extension of the communication range for low-powered hand-held or mobile trans-
ceivers. The FT-270R includes a number of features which make repeater operation simple
and enjoyable.
The FT-270R has been configured, at the factory, with the repeater shift set to 600 kHz.
Depending on the part of the band in which
you are operating, the repeater shift may be
either downward (–) or upward (+), and one of
these icons will appear at the top of the LCD
when repeater shifts have been enabled.
The FT-270R provides a convenient Automatic Repeater Shift feature, which causes the
appropriate repeater shift to be applied automatically whenever you tune into the desig-
nated repeater sub-bands in your country. These sub-bands are shown below.
If the ARS feature does not appear to be working, you may have accidentally disabled it.
