Operation
Reverse Frequency
When Reverse Frequency is activated, the transmit and receive frequencies of the active
channel are exchanged or reversed, allowing the radio to transmit on the receive fre-
quency and receive on the transmit frequency. This feature is useful for checking if you
are within simplex range of other units before activating Talk Around.
Press the [*SCAN] key on the active channel to activate or deactivate this feature.
When activated, an “R” icon will appear below the channel name, frequency or number.
The Reverse Frequency function can also be assigned to the [PF1], [PF2] or [TOP]
buttons from the menu (pp. 64-66). Available in Channel Modes only.
Talk Around
The Talk Around function allows the radio to transmit and receive on the output
frequency of a repeater, essentially letting you bypass the repeater. This feature is useful
when the repeater is nearly out of range, is not operational, or if you are in range of oth-
er stations and would prefer to contact them via simplex. The Talk Around function can
be assigned to the [PF1], [PF2] or [TOP] buttons from the menu (pp. 64-66).
