Accessing a repeater
When using a repeater, the transmit frequency is shift-
ed from the receive frequency by the frequency offset
(p. 38). This is called duplex operation. It is convenient
to program repeater information into memory channels
(p. 21).
q
Set the receive frequency (the repeater output fre-
quency).
• For only USA version of IC-V80:
When the Auto Repeater function is ON, steps
w
and
e
are not necessary.
w
Push
[FUNC](

, and then push
[DUP](4)
several
times to select minus duplex or plus duplex. ( “–” or
“+”)
e
Push
[FUNC](
M
)
, and then push
[TONE](1)
several
times to turn ON the subaudible tone encoder, de-
pending on the repeater requirements.
•
“ ” appears.
•
The subaudible tone frequency can be set in the Set
mode.
r
Hold down
[PTT]
to transmit.
•
The displayed frequency automatically changes to the
transmit frequency (repeater input frequency).
•
If “OFF” appears, confi rm that the frequency offset is cor-
rectly set.
t
Release
[PTT]
to receive.
y
Hold down
[MONI]
to check whether you can directly
receive the signal from the other station.
•
When the other station’s signal can be directly received,
move to a non-repeater frequency to use simplex. (duplex
OFF)
For only USA version of IC-V80:
Auto Repeater function uses standard repeater tone
frequencies and frequency offsets.
