Switching Between Repeater or
Direct Operation Button
The Repeater Operation increases the radio coverage
area by connecting with other radios through a repeater.
The transmit and receive frequencies are different.
The Direct or “talkaround operation” allows you to bypass
the repeater and connect directly to another radio. The
transmit and receive frequencies are the same.
Perform one of the following actions:
• Press the preprogrammed Repeater/Direct
switch to toggle between talkaround and repeater
modes.
• or to
Dir
and press the Menu Select button
directly below
Dir
.
The display shows
Repeater mode
if the radio is currently
in Repeater mode.
The display shows
Direct mode
and the Talkaround icon if
the radio is currently in Direct mode (during conventional
operation only).
Monitor Feature
Radio users who switch from analog to digital radios often
assume that the lack of static on a digital channel is an
indication that the radio is not working properly. This is not
the case.
Digital technology quiets the transmission by removing the
noise from the signal and allows only the clear voice or
data information to be heard.
Use the Monitor feature to make sure a channel is clear
before transmitting.
