If the ARS feature has been disabled, or if you need to set a repeater shift direction other
than that established by the ARS, you may set the direction of the repeater shift manually.
To do this:
1.
Press the [
F
] key, then press the [
4
(
RPT
)] key to enable selection of the repeater shift
direction.
2.
This provides a “short-cut” to Set Mode Item 35:
RPT.MOD
.
3.
Rotate the
DIAL
knob to select the desired shift among “
RPT.–
,”
“
RPT.+
,” and “
RPT.OFF
.”
4.
When you have made your selection, press the
PTT
switch to save the new setting and
return to normal operation.
If you make a change in the shift direction, but still have Automatic Repeater
Shift still engaged (see previous section), when you change frequency (by
rotating the DIAL knob, for example) the ARS will over-ride your manual
setting of the shift direction. Turn ARS off if you do not wish this to happen.
If you make a change in the repeater shift on a memory channel that you already stored, the
radio will consider this a “temporary” change unless you store the memory once more, this
time with the desired repeater shift engaged.
Changing the Default Repeater Shifts
If you travel to a different region, you may need to change the default repeater shift so as to
ensure compatibility with local operating requirements.
To do this, follow the procedure below:
1.
Press the [
F
] key, then press the [
0
(
SET
)] key to enter the Set
mode.
2.
Rotate the
DIAL
knob to select Set Mode Item 41:
SHIFT
.
3.
Press the [
F
] key momentarily to enable adjustment of this Item.
4.
Rotate the
DIAL
knob to select the new repeater shift magni-
tude.
5.
When you have made your selection, press the
PTT
switch to
save the new setting and return to normal operation.
If you just have one “odd” split that you need to program, don’t change the
“default” repeated shifts using this Set Mode Item. Enter the transmit and
receive frequencies separately, as shown on page 29.
