REPEATER OPERATION
■
General
When using a repeater, the transmit frequency is shifted from
the receive frequency by the offset frequency. (p. 24) It is con-
venient to program repeater information into memory chan-
nels. (p. 12)
q
Set the receive frequency (repeater output frequency).
w
Set the shift direction of the transmit frequency. (–DUP or
DUP; see the next section for details.)
• When the auto repeater function is in use (U.S.A. version only),
this selection and step
e
are not necessary. (p. 25)
e
Activate the subaudible tone encoder, according to re-
peater requirements.
• Refer to the next page for tone frequency settings.
r
Push and hold [PTT] to transmit.
• The displayed frequency automatically changes to the transmit
frequency (repeater input frequency).
• If “OFF” appears, check the offset frequency (p. 24) or shift di-
rection (right section).
t
Release [PTT] to receive.
y
Push and hold [SQL] to check whether the other station’s
transmit signal can be directly received or not.
D
Setting duplex and duplex direction
q
Push [V/M] for 2 sec. to enter expanded set mode.
w
Rotate [DIAL] until “DUP” appears.
• Turn the expanded set mode ON for selection. (p. 28)
• “DUP” disappears after 1 sec. and “dP” appears.
e
While pushing [FUNC], rotate [DIAL] to select “– DUP” or
“+DUP.”
• “–DUP” or “+DUP” indicates the transmit frequency for minus shift
or plus shift, respectively.
• When the auto repeater function is in use (U.S.A. version only),
this selection and step
e
are not necessary. (p. 25)
r
Push [V/M] to exit set mode.

CONVENIENT
Tone scan function: When you don’t know the subaudible
tone used for a repeater, the tone scan is convenient for de-
tecting the tone frequency.
➥
Push [FUNC] + [
Y
] or [
Z
] for 2 sec. to activate. See p. 27
for more information.
