RECEIVE AND TRANSMIT

A repeater amplifies received signals and retransmits
them at a different frequency. When using a repeater,
the transmit frequency is shifted from the receive fre-
quency by an offset frequency. A repeater can be ac-
cessed using split frequency operation with the shift
frequency set to the repeater’s offset frequency.

NOTE: For accessing a repeater which requires a
subaudible tone, set the subaudible tone frequency
in set mode. Refer to p. 57.

q

Set the offset frequencies (HF, 50 MHz) and turn
ON the quick split function in set mode in advance.

w

Push [VFO/MEMO] to select VFO mode.

e

Push the desired band key.

r

Push [FM] to select FM mode.

t

Set the receive frequency (repeater output fre-
quency).

y

Push [SPLIT] for 2 sec. to start repeater operation.

- Subaudible tone encoder is turned ON automatically.
- Shifted transmit frequency and

“

” appear in the sub

readout.

- The transmit frequency can be monitored while push-

ing [XFC] or using dualwatch.

u

Push and hold [PTT] to transmit; release [PTT] to
receive.

i

To return to simplex, push [SPLIT] momentarily to
clear the sub display.
