Repeater stations, usually located on mountaintops or other high locations, pro-
vide a dramatic extension of the communication range for low-powered hand-
held or mobile transceivers. The
FT-65R/E

Your
FT-65R/E
has been configured, at the factory, for the repeater shifts cus-
tomary in your country. For the 144 MHz band shift will be 600 kHz; on the 430
MHz band, the shift may be 1.6 MHz, 7.6 MHz, or 5 MHz (USA version).
Depending on the part of the band in which you are
operating, the repeater shift may be either downward
( ) or upward ( ), and one of these icons will ap-
pear at the top of the LCD when repeater shifts have been enabled.
