Cross-Band Repeater Settings
The FT-51R can be set up to operate as a
featured cross-band repeater with a simple
power-on procedure. This feature is useful for
field-day, club station or emergency operation in
remote areas, and for cross-band linking. How-
ever, remember these few points before using
the cross-band repeater function.
Check with amateur rules and regulations to
ensure this type of operation is permitted in
your country.
Pick your frequency pair carefully,
so as to not
interfere with existing repeaters in operation,
cross linking
two repeaters on two separate
bands may cause a lot of havoc, and may be
illegal!
If you are not sure of active repeater
frequencies, a safe rule is to stay off of the
repeater sub-bands and use the simplex por-
tion of each band.
Contact
your area for guidance.
Remember that the Tx duty cycle will probably
be much greater than before, so use a low
Tx
power output setting for cooler operation.
There are two cross-band repeater selections:
one-way repeat and bi-directional repeat. With
one-way repeat, any signals received on the
channel are transmitted on the main channel.
Bi-directional repeat operates the same way, ex-
cept, as its name implies, it can repeat signals
from either channel (one at a time, of course).
Transceiver CTCSS settings
can still be selected for each band, so you can
make your repeater ”closed” if desired. The one-
way repeat mode also includes a 1-second car-
rier
(Tx carrier delay), as found on
commercial repeaters!
To enable one-way cross band repeat, hold
(REV)
while turning on the power.
Press
(BAND)
to place on the band you want the
repeater Tx
output
to be on. Any signals re-
ceived on the are automatically re-
transmitted on the main band.
