Repeater Operation
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 the
[
SET/ATS
]
key to enter the Set mode.
2. Rotate the
DIAL
knob or press the
[
p
]/[
q
]
key to select
Set Mode Item 32:
RPT.MOD
.
3. Press the
[
SET/ATS
]
key momentarily to enable adjust
-
ment of this Item.
4. Rotate the
DIAL
knob or press the
[
p
]/[
q
]
key to select the desired shift among
“
RPT.–
”, “
RPT.+
”, and “
RPT.OFF
.”
5. When you have made your selection, press the
PTT
switch to save the new setting
and return to normal operation.
If you manually change the shift direction, but still have Automatic Repeater Shift en-
gaged (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.
If you manually change the repeater shift on a memory channel that you have already
stored, the radio will consider this a “temporary” change, unless you store the memory
once more, this time with the desired repeater shift engaged.
Changing the Default Repeater Shifts
If you travel to a different region, you may need to change the default repeater shift to
ensure compatibility with local operating requirements.
To do this, follow the procedure below:
1. Press the
[
SET/ATS
]
key to enter the Set mode.
2. Rotate the
DIAL
knob or press the
[
p
]/[
q
]
key to select
Set Mode Item 28:
R SHIFT
.
3. Press the
[
SET/ATS
]
key momentarily to enable adjust
-
ment of this Item.
4. Rotate the
DIAL
knob or press the
[
p
]/[
q
]
key to select the new repeater shift mag
-
nitude.
5. When you have made your selection, press the
PTT
switch to save the new setting
and return to normal operation.
If you have only one “odd” split that you need to program, don’t change the “default”
repeater shifts using this Set Mode Item. Instead, enter the transmit and receive fre-
quencies separately, as shown on page 22.
