Checking the Repeater Uplink (Input) Frequency
It often is helpful to be able to check the uplink (input) frequency of a repeater, to see if the
calling station is within direct (“Simplex”) range.
To do this, just press the [
HM/RV
(
EMG
)
R/H
] key. You’ll
notice that the display has shifted to the repeater uplink fre-
quency. Press the [
HM/RV
(
EMG
)
R/H
] key again to cause
operation to revert to normal monitoring of the repeater
downlink (output) frequency. While you are listening on the
input frequency to the repeater using the [
HM/RV
(
EMG
)
R/H
] key, the repeater offset icon will blink.
The configuration of this key may be set either to “RV” (for checking the
input frequency of a repeater), or “HM” (for instant switching to the “Home”
channel for the band you are operating on). To change the configuration of
this key, use Set Mode Item 28: HM/RV. See page 45.
