Manual Repeater Shift Activation
If the ARS feature has been disabled, or if you need to set a repeater shift direction other than that
established by the ARS, you may set the direction of the repeater shift manually.
To do this:
1. Press and hold in the [TXPO] key for one second to enter the Set mode.
2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select Set Mode Item 68: RPT.
Note: Do not forget to pull the DIAL knob to rotate the DIAL knob.
3. Press the [TXPO] key momentarily to enable adjustment of this Item.
4. Rotate the DIAL knob to select the desired shift among “–RPT,” “+RPT,” and “SIMP.”
5. When you have made your selection, press the PTT switch to save the new setting and return to
normal operation.
R.F. Says: If you make a change in the shift direction, but still have Automatic Repeater Shift still engaged
(see previous section), when you change frequency (by rotating the DIAL knob, for example) the ARS will
over-ride your manual setting of the shift direction. Turn ARS off if you do not wish this to happen.
Changing the Default Repeater Shifts
If you travel to a different region, you may need to change the default repeater shift so as to ensure
compatibility with local operating requirements.
To do this, follow the procedure below:
1. Set the VX-3R’s frequency to the band on which you wish to change the default repeater shift (144
MHz or 430 MHz Ham Band).
2. Press and hold in the [TXPO] key for one second to enter the Set mode.
3. Rotate the DIAL knob to select Set Mode Item 69: RPT.SFT.
Note: Do not forget to pull the DIAL knob to rotate the DIAL knob.
4. Press the [TXPO] key momentarily to enable adjustment of this Item.
5. Rotate the DIAL knob to select the new repeater shift magnitude.
6. When you have made your selection, press the PTT switch to save the new setting and return to
normal operation.
R.F. Says: If you just have one “odd” split that you need to program, don’t change the “default” repeated
shifts using this Set Mode Item! Enter the transmit and receive frequencies separately, as shown on
page ??.
