Duplex Button
Press this button to select Duplex mode on channels 1 – 8 and

individual channels.
Duplex operation allows the TX655 to transmit on a different
frequency to that which it receives. This allows operation through
repeater stations in your area. Repeaters automatically re‑transmit
your signal over a much wider area, providing greatly increased
range. The Duplex mode only works on channels 1 – 8 and 41 – 48.
With Duplex selected, your TX655 actually transmits 30 channels
higher than it receives.
