Operating through a Repeater
Normally, you will operate the IC-2720H through repeater frequencies that you have already
programmed into the radio's Memory channels. However, the occasion may arise in which you
need to operate through a repeater that has not been programmed. This section instructs you in
setting up the IC-2720H to operate through a repeater.
1. Activate VFO mode: Press
2. Select the Frequency Band: See "Selecting a Frequency Band" for instructions.
3. Set the Receive Frequency: See "Operating in VFO Mode" for instructions. This is the
frequency on which your radio receives the repeater's transmissions. (For example, you
will receive the Tarrant County R.A.C.E.S. repeater on 146.940 MHz.)
4. If necessary, Set the Repeater Shift:
Note: If the Auto Repeater Function is set to On and the repeater
uses a standard repeater shift, this step will not be necessary as the
IC-2720H will automatically set the shift.
To manually set the repeater shift:
DUP●MONI
Press L/R [
duplex shift.
● For minus duplex, "DUP−" appears on the LCD screen. The
repeater's receive freq. is set lower than its transmit frequency.
● For plus duplex, "DUP" appears on the LCD screen. The
repeater's receive freq. is set higher than its transmit frequency.
● If the repeater uses an offset frequency amount other than 0.6
MHz for 2m band or 5 MHz for 70cm band, manually set the offset
in Step 5.
5. If necessary, Set the Repeater Offset Frequency Amount:
Note: This step is only necessary if the repeater's offset frequency
is an amount other than 0.6 MHz on the 2m band or 5 MHz on the
70cm band.
