Setting the Repeater frequency
1 Push [V/MHz] to enter the VFO mode
2 Push [FM/DV] to select the FM mode
3 Rotate [DIAL] to set the frequency received from a
Repeater
4 Set the offset frequency and the Duplex direction
(p 10-4)
•
The Duplex icon is displayed
TIP: For only the USA version
The Auto Repeater function (p 10-5)
automatically sets the Repeater settings When
the function is ON, this step can be skipped

Accessing
a Repeater
Receiving from
a Repeater
Push [PTT] for
2 seconds
Receives the
Repeater’s call sign
10 Operate in the same way as a simplex call,
alternately transmit and receive
A Repeater receives signals and 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
See Section 4 for details on accessing a D-STAR
Repeater
Repeater
RX: 442540 MHz
TX: 447540 MHz
Station A
RX: 447540 MHz
TX: 442540 MHz
Station B
RX: 447540 MHz
TX: 442540 MHz
TIP:
•
When the Repeater tone frequency or the
frequency offset is changed, the tone or offset for
Auto Repeater function is also changed
•
If the offset value causes the transmit frequency
to be out of the band, “OFF BAND” is displayed
on the display when you push [PTT], and transmit
is inhibited (p 10-5)
