REPEATER AND DUPLEX OPERATIONS
15-2
■
FM Repeater operation
A repeater receives transmitted signals and retransmits
them on a different frequency. The transmit frequency
is shifted from the receive frequency by a preset fre-
quency offset.
In duplex operation, the transceiver’s frequency offset
is set to the same as that of the repeater. (p. 16-16)

several times to select the FM
mode.
e
Rotate [DIAL] to set the receive frequency (repeater
output frequency).
• The frequency changes according to the preset tuning
steps. See the page 5-8 for details.
