REPEATER AND DUPLEX OPERATIONS
1-2
■
FM Repeater operation
A repeater receives transmitted signals and retrans-
mits them on a different frequency. The transmit fre-
quency is shifted from the receive frequency by a pre-
set frequency offset.
In duplex operation, the transceiver’s frequency offset
is set to the same as that of the repeater. (p. 10-12)

Repeater frequency setting
Push [V/MHz]
q
to select the VFO mode.
Push [FM/DV]

several times to select the FM
mode.
Rotate [DIAL] to set the receive frequency (repeater
e
output frequency).
• The frequency changes according to the preset tuning
steps. See the page 23 on the printed manual for de-
tails.
Only USA and Korean versions have an Auto
Repeater function:
When the function is turned ON, steps

NOTE:
• The Auto repeater function uses the preset repeat

er tone frequency and frequency offset. Depending
on the frequency offset value, the off band indica-
tion, “OFF,” appears on the display when [PTT] is
pushed, and transmit is inhibited. (p. 1-5)
