repeater.
NOTE:
If you're experiencing problems making a connection to the repeater, check your settings and/or go through the
procedure again.
Certain Amateur Radio repeaters (especially in Europe) use a 1750Hz tone burst to open up the repeater. To see
how this is done with the Pofung P51UV, see the section called “1750Hz Tone-burst”.
If you're still unable to make a connection, contact the person in charge of the radio system with your employer
or your local amateur radio club, as the case may be.
If you for some reason want to listen to the repeater's input frequency instead, press
[*/SCAN]
key momentarily
and you'll reverse your transmit and receive frequencies.
This is indicated in the LCD on the radio with an R in the top row, next to the + and - for the offset direction.
