BF-F8HP
conveniently enough also how the BaoFeng BF-F8HP natively handles repeater setup in VFO, by
specifying offset rather than transmit frequency.
This might cause confusion because many expect this to be true globally when it isn't.
SFT-D and OFFSET only function in VFO mode.
MR mode uses and stores the RX frequency and the TX frequency only. SFT-D and OFFSET
don't have to be set or they can even be set completely wrong and a working repeater
channel can be created.
It is convenient to use SFT-D and OFFSET with 'reverse' mode to determine the TX
frequency to be stored in a channel, but they are otherwise unused for MR mode.
The following instructions assume that you know what transmit and receive frequencies your
repeater employs, and that you're authorized to use it.
Procedure 11.1. Repeater setup
1.
Set the radio to Frequency (VFO) mode with the
key.
2.
Enter the repeater’s output (your receiving) frequency by either using the
and
keys, or by entering it directly on the numerical keypad.
