2. ADVANCED OPERATIONS
Repeater operation
A repeater receives your transceiver’s signals
and simultaneously retransmits them on
a different frequency to provide a greater
communication range.
When using a repeater, the transmit frequency
shifts from the receive frequency by an offset
amount. You can access a repeater using the
split function.
1. Select the VFO mode.
2. Set the operating mode to “FM.”
3. Set the receive frequency (Repeater output
frequency).
For only the USA version:
When the Auto Repeater function is turned
ON, steps 4 and 5 are not necessary. The Auto
Repeater function automatically sets the repeater
settings (duplex ON/OFF, duplex direction, tone
encoder ON/OFF).
L
You can turn OFF the function and manually
set the repeater settings.

See page 2-16 for setting details.
6. Communicate in a normal way.

transmit signal.
TIP:
To access a repeater using the DR
function, see Section 13 for details.

Checking the repeater input signal
You can check whether or not you can directly
receive another station’s transmit signal, by
listening to the repeater input frequency.
L
While listening, the TX/RX indicator lights green,
and then the Noise Reduction and Notch Filter
settings are canceled.
While receiving, hold down
to listen to the
repeater input frequency.
