Automatic Repeater Shift
The ARS (Automatic Repeater Shift) feature in this transceiver allows easy and
convenient repeater operation by automatically activating the repeater shift function
whenever you tune to a standard repeater subband. The ARS function is preset at the
factory to conform to the standards for the country to which it is exported.
The ARS function is enabled at the factory. To disable it:
1.
Press and hold in the [MHz(SET)] key for one second, then rotate the DIAL knob to
select "4 ARS."
2.
Press the [MHz(SET)] key, then rotate the DIAL knob to change the display to
"OFF.
3.
Press and hold in the [MHz(SET)] key for one second to save your new setting and
exit to normal operation.
To enable the ARS function again, select to "ON" in step 2 above.
Separate Transmit Frequency Memories ("Odd Splits")
All memory channels can store independent receive and transmit frequencies, to
accommodate occasional non-standard offsets with greater frequency resolution than is
available using the "standard" shift feature.
1.
First store the receive (repeater output) frequency. In the VFO mode, tune the
transceiver to the desired receive frequency. Now press and hold in the
[D/MR(MW)] key on the front panel for one second.
2.
Within five seconds of pressing the [D/MR(MW)] key, use the DIAL knob or
microphone's [UP]/[DWN] buttons to select the desired memory channel into which
you wish to store this frequency pair.
3.
Now press the [D/MR(MW)] key momentarily to store the receive frequency into
the selected memory.
4.
Next store the transmit (repeater input) frequency. Since you are still in the VFO
mode, tune the transceiver to the desired transmit frequency.
5.
Now press and hold in the [D/MR(MW)] key for one second.
6.
Press and hold in the PTT switch, and press the [D/MR(MW)] key momentarily
while holding in the PTT switch. This will not cause transmission, but rather it
will instruct the transceiver that you are programming a separate transmit
frequency into memory.
When you have finished the above procedure, press the [D/MR(MW)] key momentarily.
The channel number and repeater downlink frequency will appear on the display. If
you press the PTT switch, you will observe the display changing to indicate the
