REPEATER AND DUPLEX OPERATIONS
11-2
FM Repeater operation
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 5 for details on accessing a D-STAR
Repeater
D
Setting the Repeater frequency
1 Push [VFO/MHz] to enter the VFO mode
2 Push [MODE] to select the FM mode
3 Rotate [DIAL] to set the frequency received from a
repeater
TIP: For only the USA version
The Auto Repeater function (p 11-5)
automatically sets the repeater settings (duplex
ON/OFF, duplex direction, tone encoder ON/
OFF) When the function is ON, steps 4 ~ 8 are
not necessary
L
You can turn OFF the function and manually set the
repeater settings
([MENU] > SET > Function >
Auto Repeater
)
4 Set the offset frequency and the Duplex direction
(p 11-4)
• The Duplex icon is displayed
5 Set the Repeater tone (Default: 885 Hz)
([MENU] > SET > DUP/TONE >
Repeater Tone
)
(p 12-4)
6 Push [MENU] to exit the MENU screen
7 Push [QUICK]
8 Select “TONE” and turn ON the Repeater Tone
• The TONE icon is displayed
9 Hold down [PTT] for 2 seconds
• If your transmit signal reached the repeater, after
releasing [PTT], you can hear the repeater’s call sign
in morse codes or its announcement
10 Operate in the same way as a simplex call,
alternately transmit and receive
Station A
RX: 145500 MHz
TX: 144900 MHz
Station B

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 11-5)
