check whether direct communication with the partner station is
possible.

be used in even more convenient ways.

●
Repeater shift
The FTM-400DR/DE has been configured, at the factory, for the repeater shifts
customary in the country where it is sold. For the 144 MHz band, this usually will be 600
kHz, while the 430 MHz shift will be 1.6 MHz or 7.6 MHz.
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 appear on the display
when repeater shifts have been enabled.
●
Automatic repeater shift (ARS)
The FTM-400DR/DE ARS feature causes the appropriate repeater shift to be
automatically applied whenever it is tuned into the designated repeater sub-bands.
If the ARS feature does not appear to be working, you may have accidentally disabled it.
To re-enable ARS:
1
Press for one second or longer
The set-up menu will be displayed.
