Cross-band Repeater Operation
The TH-7800 can be set up to operate as a cross-band repeater via a simple Menu procedure. This feature is useful for
emergency portable work in a remote area, and for cross-band linking.
Note:
1. Check the relative rules and regulations for your country to ensure that this type of operation is permitted.
2. Pick your frequency pair carefully, so as not to cause harmful interference to other users. If you are not sure of activate
repeater frequencies in your area, a safe rule is to stay off of the repeater sub-bands and user the FM simplex portion
of each band. Contact your area's frequency coordinator for guidance.
To activate ARTS:
1. Set your radio and other radios to the same DCS code number.
2. Press the [SET] key to enter the Menu mode.
3. Rotate the "Main" band DIAL to select Menu # 3 (ARTS) .
4. Press the "Main" band DIAL knob and rotate the DIAL to select the desired ARTS beep option.
IN.RNG: The beeps are issued only when the radio first confirms that you are within range, but does not re-confirm with
beeps thereafter.
ALWAYS: Every time a polling transmission is received from the other station, the alert beeps will be heard.
5. Press the "Main" band DIAL knob to confirm and the " OUT.RNG " will display on the LCD. ARTS operation has now
commenced.
6. Every 25 seconds, your radio will transmit a "polling" call to the other station. When the station doesn't respond with its
own ARTS polling signal, the display will change to " OUT.RNG " to confirm that other station's polling code was not recei-
ved in response to yours.
7. Press the [SET] key to exit ARTS operation and exit to normal operation.
