REPEATER OPERATION
1 Set the receive frequency in the VFO mode
NOTE for only the USA version:
When the Auto Repeater function is set to “R1,”
steps 2 and 3 are not necessary
When the function is set to “R2,” steps 2 to 4 are
not necessary
See page 8-5 for details
2 Set the frequency offset in the Set mode
L
3 Hold down [LOW DUP] for 1 second once or twice
to select the plus Duplex or the minus Duplex
mode
• A “+” or “–” is displayed, depending on the frequency
offset direction
4 Repeatedly push [TONE T-SCAN] to turn ON
the subaudible tone encoder, depending on the
repeater requirements
• “ ” is displayed
L
The 885 Hz tone frequency is set as the default
When a different tone frequency is needed to access
a repeater, see page 2-6 for setting the tone
frequency
5 Hold down [PTT] to transmit
• The displayed frequency is automatically changed to
the transmit frequency
• When “OFF” is displayed, confirm that the frequency
offset is correctly set (p 8-2)
6 Release [PTT] to receive
7 Push [MONI ANM PA] to check whether or not
you can directly receive the signal from the other
station
L
The transmit frequency is displayed
8 To return to the Simplex mode, hold down
[LOW DUP] for 1 second once or twice
• A “–” or “+” disappears
9 To turn OFF the subaudible tone encoder,
repeatedly push [TONE T-SCAN] until
“ ”
disappears

Accessing a repeater
A “-” is displayed

Hold down [LOW DUP] for 1 second to select the
minus Duplex mode
Repeatedly push [TONE T-SCAN] to turn ON the
subaudible tone encoder

FM Repeater operation
A Repeater receives signals on one frequency and
then retransmits them on a different frequency
When using a Repeater, the transmit frequency is
shifted from the receive frequency by a frequency
offset
A Repeater can be accessed using the Duplex
function by setting the transceiver’s offset to the same
value as the Repeater’s offset
