CONVENTIONAL FEATURES

This section outlines the conventional features of your
radio. All references to what is shown on the display is
only valid for Model II radios. Throughout this section,
the display below

REPEAT/DIRECT

The repeat/direct feature allows you to bypass the
repeater and talk directly to another portable radio.
This is known as DIRECT operation. The transmit
frequency is the same as the receive frequency.
• In REPEAT operation, you talk through the
repeater, which increases the radio's operating
range. The transmit frequency is not the same
as the receive frequency.

mode, that mode operates on either direct or
repeat operation.
• If the repeat/direct feature is programmed to the
keypad, you can change the repeat/direct setting
by doing the following.
