PERATION
The ARS (Automatic Repeater Shift) feature in the
VX-150
provides repeater shift of the
transmit frequency whenever you are tuned to a standard repeater subband (see diagram
below). When enabled, a small “–” or “+” displayed above the upper left-hand corner of
the display that repeater shift is active, and closing the push-to-talk switch changes the
display to the (shifted) transmit frequency.
Automatic Repeater Shift (ARS)
The
VX-150
provides a convenient Automatic Repeater Shift feature, which causes the
appropriate repeater shift to be automatically applied whenever you tune into the desig-
nated repeater sub-bands in your country. These sub-bands are shown below.
If the ARS feature does not appear to be working, you may have accidentally disabled it.

Manual Repeater Shift Activation
If the ARS feature has been disabled, or if you need to set a repeater shift other than that
established by the ARS, you may set the direction of the repeater shift manually.
To do this, press the [
