Repeater operation
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.
For accessing a repeater which requires a repeater
tone, set the repeater tone frequency in tone fre-
quency set mode as described below.
q
Set the offset frequencies (HF, 50 MHz) and turn
ON the quick split function in miscellaneous (others)
set mode in advance. (p. 12-15)
w

r
Push [AM/FM] several times to select FM mode.
t

quency).

Repeater tone frequency setting
Some repeaters require subaudible tones to be ac-
