Your access repeater must be set in “FROM” when
you make a call on the DR screen.
You have five ways to set the access repeater.
Search for a repeater using the DR scan
The Normal DR scan searches for output repeater frequencies of
nearby repeaters. The scan will stop when a signal is detected.
•The scan will also stop on simplex signals.
The Near Repeater scan searches for output repeater frequencies of nearby repeaters that are within 160
kilometer (99.4 miles) from your location and the repeater’s location that is entered in the Repeater List. The
DR scan starts scanning and will stop when a signal is detected.
You can also find only FM repeaters using the Near Repeater (FM) scan.
Search for near repeaters
Searches for near repeaters that are within 160 kilometer
(99.4 miles) from your location using your GPS location and the
repeater’s location that is entered in the Repeater List.

displayed as selectable choices.
You can select the nearby DV only, FM only, or both repeater types.
