REPEATER AND DUPLEX OPERATION
4-3
D
Checking the Repeater input signal
You can check whether or not another station’s
transmit signal can be received directly (not through a
repeater) by listening to the repeater input frequency.
z
Hold down [MONI] to listen to the repeater input
frequency.
L
While monitoring, the status indicator lights green, and
an S/RF meter dot blinks.
L
While monitoring, the displayed frequency
automatically changes to the transceiver transmit
frequency (repeater input frequency).
L
When the other station’s signal can be directly
received, move to a non-repeater frequency, and use
simplex (Duplex OFF).
Accessing a repeater
D
Using the 1750 Hz tone burst
A 1750 Hz tone is required to access many European
repeaters.
Step 1. Selecting “t-CALL”
1. Push [SET] to enter the Set mode.
• A Set mode item is displayed.
2. Repeatedly push [SET] to select “dtmF-t.”
3. Rotate [DIAL] to select “t-CALL.”
4. Push [V/M/C] to exit the Set mode.
Step 2. Using the 1750 Hz tone burst
1. Set the receive frequency
(repeater output frequency).
2. Set the duplex direction of the transmit frequency
3. While holding down [PTT], push [MONI] to
transmit a 1750 Hz tone burst signal.
• The displayed frequency automatically changes to the
transmit frequency (repeater input frequency).
L
If “OFF” is displayed, check the frequency offset or
duplex direction status (p. 4-4).
TIP: For only the EUR version:
Push [PTT] briefly and release, and then hold
down [PTT] to transmit a 1750 Hz tone burst
signal.
4. Hold down [PTT] to transmit, release [PTT] to
receive.
L
Hold down [MONI] to check whether the other
station’s transmit signal can be received or not, by
listening on the repeater input frequency.
