RECEIVE AND TRANSMIT

Repeater operation

A repeater receives transmitted signals and retransmits
them on a different frequency. When using a repeater,
the transmit frequency is shifted from the receive fre-
quency by a frequency offset.
A repeater can be accessed using the duplex function
by setting the frequency shift to the same value as the
repeater's frequency offset.
See Section 7, Section 8 and Section 9 for details on
accessing a D-STAR ® repeater.
