A repeater amplifies received signals and retransmits
them at a different frequency. When using a repeater,
the transmit frequency is shifted from the receive fre-
quency by an offset frequency. A repeater can be ac-
cessed using split frequency operation with the shift
frequency set to the repeater's offset frequency.
Push [A/B] to select VFO A.
Push a band key to select the desired band.
Push [AM/FM] to select FM mode.
• Pushing [AM/FM] toggles between AM and FM modes.
Rotate the tuning dial to set the repeater transmit
frequency.
While menu set 1 is selected, push [F2](DUP) one
CH
or more times to set the offset direction.
• The offset frequency is set in advance in set mode.
While menu set 1 is selected, push [F3](TON) to
turn the repeater tone function ON or OFF.
When 1750 Hz European repeater tone is selected
in set mode as below, push [F3](TON) while trans-
mitting to transmit 1750 Hz tone.
Communicate in the normal way.
This function allows you to set repeater operation with
the push of one switch.
To set the transceiver for repeater operation using
the one-touch repeater function, follow the steps
above but instead of steps
for 2 sec.
You may be able to receive the other party's transmit
signal directly without having to go through a repeater.
This function allows you to check this.
While receiving, push [XFC] to see if you can re-
ceive the other party's transmit signal directly.
The transceiver's repeater tone frequency is set to 88.5
Hz by default. This can be changed if desired.
