Repeater Operation
Repeater stations, usually located on mountaintops or other high locations, provide a
dramatic extension of the communication range for low-powered hand-held or mobile
transceivers. The VX-2R includes a number of features which make repeater operation
simple and enjoyable.
Repeater Shifts
Your VX-2R has been configured, at the factory, for the repeater shifts customary in
your country. For the 144 MHz band shift will be 600 kHz; on the 430 MHz band, the
shift may be 1.6 MHz, 7.6 MHz, or 5 MHz (USA version).
Depending on the part of the band in which you are operating, the repeater shift may be
either downward (–) or upward (+), and one of these icons will appear at the bottom of
the LCD when repeater shifts have been enabled.
Automatic Repeater Shift (ARS)
The VX-2R provides a convenient Automatic Repeater Shift feature, which causes the
appropriate repeater shift to be automatically applied whenever you tune into the
designated repeater sub-bands in your country. These sub-bands are shown below.
If the ARS feature does not appear to be working, you may have accidentally disabled it.
To re-enable ARS:
1.
Press and hold the [H/L] key for one second to enter the Set mode.
2.
Rotate the DIAL knob to select the Set Mode Item 5: ARS.
3.
Press the [H/L] key momentarily to enable adjustment this Item.
4.
Rotate the DIAL knob to select "ON" (to enable Automatic Repeater Shift).
5.
When you have made your selection, press the PTT key to save the new setting and
return to normal operation.
Manual Repeater Shift Activation
If the ARS feature has been disabled, or if you need to set a repeater shift direction
other than that established by the ARS, you may set the direction of the repeater shift
manually.
To do this:
1.
Press and hold the [H/L] key for one second to enter the Set mode.
2.
Rotate the DIAL knob to select the Set Mode Item 7: RPT.
