1. Rotate the Main Tuning Dial knob to the output fre-
quency (downlink) from the repeater.
2. If CTCSS Tone operation is desired/needed, press
the p/q/t/u button to select "TONE", then press
the [ SELECT ] button to engage the CTCSS mode.
3. Press the [ SELECT ] button to select the desired
CTCSS mode. If you just need to send the uplink en-
coding tone, select "ENC." For encode/decode opera-
tion, choose "T.SQL" instead. The available choices
are
"OFF"  "ENC (Tone Encoder)"
 "T.SQL (Tone Squelch)"  "OFF"
4. Press and hold in the [ SELECT] button to enter the
Menu item "088 TONE FREQ".
5. Press the [ SELECT ] button, then rotate the [ CLAR/
VFO-B ] knob (or press the p/q button) to select
the desired CTCSS Tone to be used. A total of 50
standard CTCSS tones are provided (see the CTCSS
Tone Chart).
6. Press the [ SELECT ] button, then press the [ MENU ]
button to save the new settings and exit.
7. Press the p/q/t/u button to select "RPT", then
press the [ SELECT ] button to select the desired re-
peater shift direction. The selections are:
"SIMP"  "+"  "–"  "SIMP"
where "SIMP" represents "Simplex" operation (not
used on a repeater).
8. Close the microphone PTT switch (or press the
[ MOX ] button) to begin transmission. You will ob-
serve that the frequency has shifted to correspond
to the programming you set up in the previous
steps, and a "t" notation will appear on the "10 Hz"
frequency digit while transmitting. Speak into the
microphone in a normal voice level. Release the
PTT switch or [ MOX ] button to return to the receive

 The Repeater operation will be memorized indepen-
dently on each VFO stack of VFO-A and VFO-B.
 The conventional repeater shift used on 29 MHz is
100 kHz, while on the 50 MHz band the shift may
vary between 500 kHz and 1.7 MHz (or more). To
program the proper repeater shift, use Menu items
