REPEATER AND DUPLEX OPERATIONS
1-2
■
FM Repeater operation
A repeater receives transmitted signals and retrans-
mits them on a different frequency. The transmit fre-
quency is shifted from the receive frequency by a pre-
set frequency offset.
In duplex operation, the transceiver’s frequency offset
is set to the same as that of the repeater. (p. 10-12)
D
Repeater frequency setting
Push [V/MHz]
q
to select the VFO mode.
Push [FM/DV]
w
several times to select the FM
mode.
Rotate [DIAL] to set the receive frequency (repeater
e
output frequency).
• The frequency changes according to the preset tuning
steps. See the page 23 on the printed manual for de-
tails.
Only USA and Korean versions have an Auto
Repeater function:
When the function is turned ON, steps
r
and
t
are not necessary.*
(Default for USA version : ON (DUP))
(Default for Korean version : ON)
The Auto Repeater function can be turned OFF in
“Auto Repeater” on the MENU screen.
(MENU > Function >
Auto Repeater
)
See page 10-52 for details.
Set the duplex offset direction. (p. 1-5)
r
• “DUP–” or “DUP+” appears.
Turn ON the repeater tone.
t
(See page 30 on the print-
ed manual.)
• “TONE” appears.
• The tone frequency can be set in the “REPEATER TONE”
screen. 88.5 Hz is set by default. (p. 10-12)
Communicate in the normal way.

* For USA version, the Auto repeater function turns ON the
duplex operation only. To turn ON the repeater tone, you
should manually set as step
t
, or select “ON (DUP, TONE)”
in “Auto Repeater” on the MENU screen. (p. 10-52)

NOTE:
• The Auto repeater function uses the preset repeat
-
er tone frequency and frequency offset. Depending
on the frequency offset value, the off band indica-
tion, “OFF,” appears on the display when [PTT] is
pushed, and transmit is inhibited. (p. 1-5)
