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 and hold in the [ TXPO
] key for one second to enter the Set mode.
2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select Set Mode Item 68:
RPT
.
Note : Do not forget to pull the DIAL knob to rotate the DIAL
knob.
3. Press the [
TXPO
] key momentarily to enable adjustment of this
Item.
4. Rotate the
DIAL
knob to select the desired shift among “ –RPT ,”
“ +RPT ,” and “ SIMP .”
5. 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 engaged (see previous section), when you change frequency (by rotat-
ing 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 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:

repeater shift (144 MHz or 430 MHz Ham Band).

TXPO
] key for one second to enter the Set mode.
3. Rotate the
DIAL
knob to select Set Mode Item 69: RPT.SFT .
Note : Do not forget to pull the
DIAL
knob to rotate the
DIAL
knob.
4. Press the [ TXPO
] key momentarily to enable adjustment of this
Item.
5. Rotate the DIAL knob to select the new repeater shift magnitude.
6. 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 43.
